Pride 1 - Racing 1

For 93 minutes, it was the best performance of Racing's existence. However, there were unfortunately 5 minutes of extra time. Normally I say you take a point on the road, but this definitely felt like 2 points dropped. The performances were still good, so let's get to those.

Betos-6: Not given much to do other than pick up the ball out of her net on the late goal.

Simon-7: I thought she had an excellent defensive match and was only subbed to get fresh legs on the field.

Matrin-7: Her composure on the ball leading up to the goal was a highlight. Could have safely knocked it out but took her time to find Betos to start the build up for the goal.

Bonner-8 (Player of the Match): It's almost day and night defensively when she's on the field. Needed one more player better positioned behind her on Orlando's goal.

Fox-7: Looked dangerous going forward and solid on the ball as always. Won a corner near the end that almost saw the match out.

Olofsson-7: Solid again and fought hard for the ball in the midfield area.

Milliet-7: Other than the goal, was the attacking threat while on the pitch.

McCaskill-6: Looked to suffer through the heat a bit in the first half. Had a nice run in first half stoppage time.

Nagasato-6: I thought she looked a little off the pace in the first half, but played better after halftime.

Kizer-7: Earned an assist on the goal and looked threatening while on the attack.

Salmon-7: Converted the single good chance in the game. Will be even more dangerous if Racing can find a 2nd reliable attacking option.
