Racing 0 Thorns 2
Tonight's loss was a bit of a tough pill to swallow. The penalty given was probably the right call, but I still maintain that there was a foul not called in the build up before the penalty decision. Definitely missed Bonner's stature and presence on the second goal. Racing still had a few really good chances to score and played much better than the previous effort in Portland.
Betos-6: Could do nothing on either goal. Had a few nice saves. Solid as usual.
Fox-7 (Player of the Match): Played well on both sides of the ball. Dangerous in attack in supplying the front line.
Simon-6: Worked some good combination play with Milliet.
Martin-6: Has definitely earned Coach Holly's trust with her steady displays.
Riehl-6: Maybe (combined with Martin) could have done better on the 2nd goal. Other than that was solid.
Olofsson-6: Seems to be playing better and better each match.
McCaskill-7: Ran hard a usual, almost scored a fantastic goal.
Milliet-7: My vote for Player of the Match while she was on the field. Really dangerous playing down the right side.
Nagasato-6: A bit unlucky to give away a penalty.
Salmon-6: Had half a chance to score in the first half. Other than that, not given much service.
Kizer-7: The most dangerous of the front 3.
Subs-6: Merrick looked good early, but had a few nervous touches late. Ashley was solid again. Matthew’s had a decent effort on goal.
