Racing 2 AC Milan 0 Player Ratings
Racing picked up its first win in a long time in the Women's Cup semifinal against AC Milan, but will face a tougher and more familiar foe in the OL Reign in the final. Racing pretty much controlled the entire match and after Wang's goal, the outcome was never in doubt.
Lund-7: She wasn't really required to do much until her excellent save in stoppage time.
Fox-7 (Holloway-7): The left backs each played a half and were both solid in defense and dangerous going forward. Fox has a goal called back after an offside ruling.
Lester/Bonner-7: The most utilized CB pairing this season combined to keep a clean sheet.
Milliet-7: Played most of the match in a traditional right back role, one in which she is getting more comfortable. Her flexibility allows her to be either a right back in a back 4 or a right wing back in a back 3. It looks like she may never get a night off.
DeMelo-8: Bossed the midfield an got an assist on Nadim's goal.
Olofsson-7: Did really well to maintain her discipline playing 84 minutes with a yellow card.
Chidiac-8: Seemed to be all over the field (in a good way) and almost got onto the end of a magical pass from Wang.
Wang-8 (Player of the Match): Had a goal and probably should have had an assist on the mysteriously disallowed goal from the corner. What I would like to know is if she deliberately drove the ball into the ground on her shot for the goal. It is a known technique used by some players, so it's not out of the question that it was done on purpose.
Nadim-8: Got the first goal and was subbed off early as a precaution.
McDonald-7: Her pressing caused havoc and her cross was the impetus for Wang's goal.
Davis-6: Came on for Nadim and had a decent effort that was off target in the second half.
