After 22 games involving eight teams, the NWSL Challenge Cup is down to two. The Chicago Red Stars punched a ticket to Sunday's championship game with a surprisingly thrilling 3–2 victory over Sky Blue FC on Wednesday night, setting up a final with the Houston Dash, who beat the Portland Thorns earlier in the day. Bianca St. Georges, Rachel Hill and Savannah McCaskill all scored their first goals of the tournament to lead Chicago to what turned into a tense win at Rio Tinto Stadium. While this isn't a regular NWSL season, it'll be the second straight championship appearance for the Red Stars, who lost to the North Carolina Courage in 2019's final.
