Thorns 2 Racing 2 Player Ratings

Racing just can't quite figure out how to close out a match. They simply have to find a way to keep some possession when they have a lead.

Lund-5.5: I thought she was completely at fault for the first goal by not picking up the ball when she decided to try to clear it with her foot. She did make a couple of good saves after that.

Pickett-7: Kept Portland's attack at bay on the wings.

Erceg-7: Was brilliant in the first half, but only average in the second.

Pikkujämsä-6: Went off injured and it didn't look good. She had a solid match prior to that.

Milliet-7: Just like Pickett, kept any outside attack from Portland locked down.

Howell-7: She had a fabulous first half, but Portland had more joy through the midfield in the second.

Flint-7: I thought it was a much improved match from her. She is starting to get the hang of midfield.

Fischer-6: I thought she had a rather odd performance. It wasn't poor, but she tended to dwell on the ball longer than necessary, which isn't her strength.

Kanu-9: Fantastic again. Her defensive work rate was so impressive to match her 2 terrific goals. What does she have to do to have such a great performance be a match winning one?

Turner-7: Had a fantastic assist on Kanu's 2nd.

Bahr-6: Not nearly as involved as Kanu. Switched sides with her in the first half to try to get a bit more into things.
