Spirit Survive the Shootout: Washington to Semis for Second Year in a Row
Even before kickoff, Audi Field was shaking. My uncle texted, “It is HYPE here at the stadium. You can’t even hear the PA,” and honestly, that said it all. Nearly 20,000 fans showed up to watch the Spirit survive a 1–1…

Nearly 20,000 fans showed up to watch the Spirit survive a 1–1 nail-biter and edge Racing Louisville 3–1 in penalties to reach the NWSL semifinals. The Spirit controlled possession early, with Rosemonde Kouassi nearly opening the scoring in the 17th minute before the goal was called back for offside after VAR review.

#Liverpool thought they had equalized against the run of play, but Robertson is judged to be offsides. Let’s see if this changes the momentum at all.

This game has clearly been building to that goal. Of course it’s Haaland making up for the saved penalty. Man City 1 - #Liverpool 0

Huge save from Giorgi Mamardashvili on the penalty from Haaland. Nervy first 20 for the Reds. #Liverpool

Broadcast cuts to show Michele Kang is watching the game with Commissioner Berman. Can’t think that makes an enjoyable match experience.

The more they show the “offsides”, it seems overly harsh.
Rose Kouassi form the edge of the 18 off a short corner. But Santos was offside and it’s negated.
