Seattle Reign FC hosted the Chicago Red Stars in a defensive battle on Saturday night, with neither side finding the net in a 0-0 draw that saw two solid defenses and offenses that couldn’t consistently get into gear. A big, unexpected challenge in this game was the rain and swirling wind that kicked up about 15 minutes into the match, creating slippery and blustery conditions that plagued both teams and led to abysmal pass completion percentages – Seattle completely 65% of their passes (about 5-10% lower than typical), while Chicago was even worse with only 56% of their passes finding the intended target.
