Red Stars 2 - Racing 1 Player Ratings

Courtesy USA Today Sports Images

Racing had a couple of mental lapses on defense and paid dearly for them in a match in which they dominated just about every statistic. It was a disappointing result, but if Racing can eliminate the mental errors, they will start to win matches like this.

Lund-6: Didn’t have much to do other than pick the ball out of her net twice. Her back line let her down on the two goals.

Fox-9 (Player of the Match): Finally got her first goal and should be looking for more now that she opened her account. She was the best player on the pitch tonight and it wasn’t close.

Bonner-6: Racing seemed surprised by Chicago’s early attack. Bonner has to do a better job of organizing on set pieces and getting the team ready from the first whistle.

Lester-7: Solid on the ball and looked assured going forward again.

Martin-5: Subbed off early in what I assume was a tactical decision.

Howell-6: Looks more assured in each match but was subbed off to get an extra attacker on in the form of Davis. Still led the team with 3 chances created.

Olofsson-6: Led the team with 93% passing accuracy, but gave up the free kick that led to the second Red Star Goal

DeMelo-7: I think we may be just beginning to see the form that caused Racing to select her 4th overall. Only Fox had more touches.

Milliet-6: Had the most passes in the final third, but has to be hearing Ekic’s footsteps in terms of the Starting XI.

Kizer-6: Created a couple of chances and had a few touches in the opposition box, but ultimately couldn’t trouble the keeper.

McDonald-6: Had 10 touches in the box but couldn’t make any of them pay off.

Ekic-8: In an alternate universe, probably scores multiple times on her 3 shots on target, but probably deserved at least one goal in this match.
