#ScamGang scams a point off the league leaders
- Lineups are here!
- Pregame thought 1: What the hell. Seriously, what the hell is this lineup. (I mean obviously we’re tired and hurt and dying but stiiiiiill.)
- Pregame thought 2: I mean, ok, whatever, let’s do this thing.
- Pregame thought 3: Also you should know that almost the entire Red Stars desk is covering this game IN THE SAME ROOM. Wild, right?
- Let’s goooooooooooooooooooooooo
- 5’ God this game is already a mess.
- 8’ Nikki Stanton For President. I don’t even care of what.
- 12’ Crap, Mautz is down.
- 14’ Ok she’s fine.
- 16’ Oh cool, here’s Dunn with a blistering shot from outside the box. Coooool.
- 17’ And then Zerboni with another hawt attempt that Naeher only barely keeps out. And then a wild corner kick. What the actual.
- 20’ Several minutes of set piece pressure that CRS barely survives. Gah!
- 23’ Chicago is just letting NC have all the possession too. Great way to wear yourself out.
- 27’ It’s just, like, really frustrating to see the team just not be in control.
- 30’ Neat, NC almost score again off a corner kick. Thank god for this water break.
- 33’ Green gets fouled at the top of the box by Dahlkemper, wins a FK. Yuki takes it, blasts it into the wall.
- 34’ Current topic of discussion here at Red Stars Brunch: Is Summer Green Actually Good? (Verdict: Hard to say. Let us know what you think in comments!)
- 38’ GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL SAM KERR!!! AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY!! MOTHERFUCKING SCAM GANG!!!! NC 0-1 CHI
.@samkerr1 doing what she does best. @chiredstarsPR with the lead in Cary!#NCvCHI | #NWSL | @go90Sports
- 40’ Ugh, that was so good.
- 42’ lol Stanton out here just wrecking fools.
- 45’ Mewis gets booked for a pretty tame foul, all things considered. Three minutes of stoppgage.
- 48’ Yuki got booked for... something? I dunno.
- Halftime! NC 0-1 CHI
- Halftime thought 1: So that was, uh, not a good half. For us or in general. Lot of people just kinda hitting the ground and flailing. Definite struggle session for both teams (but a bit more for Chicago).
- Halftime thought 2: Buuuuuuuut we’re leading so whatevs lol
- Second half is underway!
- 46’ Chicago makes a HT sub: Gilliland up for Mautz. Makes sense.
- 49’ So, uh, maybe we could defend a little? Just a bit? (Also, thank you Uncle Naeher.)
- 51’ Sofia Huerta out here making bad decisions.
- 54’ And again, passing to the opposition inside her own box. Not great, Bob. (Also maaaaaybe we shouldn’t play her at fullback? Just a thought!!)
- 56’ Mewis left unmarked outside the box and she forces Naeher into a late save. Ugh. UGH.
- 58’ Double sub! Colaprico on for Kaskie and Comeau on for Green.
- 59’ Huerta moved up front and IMMEDIATELY creates a chance by playing Kerr through on goal. Kerr’s chipped shot is juuuuust wide of the post.
- 61’ Vasconcelos brought down right on the 18 and... no call. At all. Wow. Fuck you too, ref.
- 64’ Several minutes of sustained pressure from NC is rewarded with a corner kick that’s only barely defended.
- 66’ And now Naeher has to dig deep again for the save. Via Claire: “Can I support Naeher on Patreon? How do I give her money?”
- 70’ We’re doing this weird thing where we force a turnover and then give it right back? Let’s, uh, maybe do something different?
- 74’ For their part, NC is extremely frustrated right now.
- 75’ OH at Red Stars Brunch: “Just do the thing, Sam! Do! The! Thing!”
- 79’ Sam Johnson with a CRONCH tackle in the box. Love it.
- 81’ NC wins a FK right on the edge of the box thanks to a bullshit foul call. Coooool.
- 82’ GOAL Zerboni converts on a corner kick. Yup. NC 1-1 CHI
- 85’ Chicago just trying to kill the game now and get out of there with a point. I don’t blame them, but... ehhh.
- 88’ Stanton is tired but her teammates are still expecting her to do everything. JFC guys let her live.
- 90’ If we weren’t so gassed we’d be winning these balls in midfield. As it is... (Four minutes of stoppage time.)
- 92’ THE FUCK. NC has had 42 shots today. Chicago has had 7. Holy fuck.
- 93’ Everything hurts and I’m dying.
- Peep! Peep! Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Final Score: NC 1-1 CHI
- Final Whistle Thought: Thank fuck that’s over. I’ll take the point.
