[Applause] [Music] [Applause] Chicago red stars will be in the light blue uniforms the dark gray belonging to Portland and on that whistle from our referee Thomas Snider we are underway the players have said and he has said he's bringing it in a different energy [Music] red stars on the ball on the attack stop quicka bian's pass down that right side slle looking catch he cross it in front pu Swanson thought that was him but if it wasn't in that's as close as you can get no shot there coffee that's blocked sigita keeps it alive Smith cutting ball left driven across P across cleared off the line r could have been a goal there qua sto the other cutting Ball by Fleming Sinclair drives it deflected ball off The Cross by again it's still loose in the box where are these opportunities coming from as that ball is cleared and the whistle blows for the foul Yer kept it in great job there in the sideline versus malum coffee curling ball away from any of her teammates maybe something here as it's brought down by Smith shot taken there's the first goal Portland leads on a Smith [Applause] C she's unbelievable JP her Proficiency in front of goal her diversity in her finishes she gets this one squared up against malaso freezes the defender stop start little twist look at the window she gets off right there such a small window and she's able to fire it through a small window here with perfect perfect Precision in the corner and Sophia Smith's causing a handful of problems for Chicago defend it well into a narrow angle Sinclair leads it there's Smith again and she's got to Sophia Smith and the Portland Thorns lead by [Applause] [Music] two and Morgan Weaver pinching this ball unleashes s play running at the back line draws attention to herself and Sophia Smith well time run sink delivers a delicious ball in here Alysa nir trying to put pressure and again it's Sophia Smith's finishing ability inside the at least this season Chicago was not used to trailing home or away by multiple goals last year they were nice ball malum rusted wow Sher was there but I thought malam could have taken that in another 10 yards maybe got it into a nice pocket for Fleming now coffee Weaver now on the right side for the first time [Music] fling [Music] mua Morgan Weaver towards the middle Smith turning lays it off Sinclair that was set up nicely for Christine Sinclair but she put it wide comes to a [Music] close Stop's going to take the corner I would love to see them go two versus one here you got M Swanson on the ball against Sophia Smith who's not a Defender and that's the whole Endeavor when you get in wide channels it's a great wide overloads two versus one you got it right here we got swansen Eric gber they go with that corner headed off the crossbar or the side post more accurately so Chicago's hit wood work twice ball in here from sa and it's biane that's making that near post run how does she manipulate her body 23 yds away from goal here's Sophia Smith scoop pass for sigita doesn't get there Sinclair not much on it in the end and there makes the easy stop one change at halftime Janine Becky Canadian International replacing a former Canadian International Christine Sinclair as the second half is underway what needs to be different from Chicago second half Mueller high up field cutting ball up left there for Smith try to bounce off a challenge and win that ball could not loing in seler there it's SEL coming up with it for a bik too heavy of a touch lost there to Rees Becky with the flex sigita sopia Smith can she get three the shot bble by that's a rarity she doesn't cough those up sigita holding Reyes block Morgan Weaver trying to track it down s butt nice ball short shot taken right at there from LAN crush on the ball by mtry n looking for backto back wins on consecutive weekends Lo there there was out of goal there's the third one their struggle last week in possession as well as against Seattle they just weren't able to capitalize on that moment it's this it's the pressure from Smith there that forces alysen Aire onto her weak foot her left foot she Mis clears this one straight to Janine Becky great composure that's not an easy finish she still got a lot of work to do here after she wins the ball in the top of the box the goal's exposed Becky seals the deal here for Portland Thorns tonight V is [Music] checking he's going to look he's going to look well if he overrules his own decision Chicago's not out of it [Music] [Applause] yet it hits our hand it's going to be taken away because an attacking hand ball this is one of the clues see what he says taking her right stop up for grabs coming out hog it late Net's empty and it's clear off the post oh Chicago can't by a goal sances you must influence the ball here she gets tied up it in traffic malum challenges for the first one Curran's trying to redirect this one and Seer it on frame Janine Becky is there as well as obeys back that was their first real opportunity of this second half not knocking on the door there Shelby Hogan makes a mess of it comes if you come off launched into the box one header right at [Applause] Hogan stop got at the end of that ACL Swanson
