Nesbeth & Chicago Red Stars Draw with Kansas City

IslandStats.com
Leilanni Nesbeth and her Chicago Red Stars teammates played to a 2-2 draw against the Kansas City Current in a hard-fought battle. Forward Mallory Swanson scored the opening goal for the club and assisted on the game-tying goal scored by fellow U.S. national teamer, Sam Staab.

In the 5th minute, Chicago’s Cari Roccaro found Sarah Griffith at the top of Kansas City’s 18-yard box. Griffith received the ball, turned, and sent a through ball to a charging Swanson, who in turn avoided a defender and had a strike that opened the scoreline.

Things were level in the 55th minute when a Kansas City corner kick saw Chicago’s keeper Naeher look to punch the ball away and clear the danger, but a few players got in her way and disrupted her momentum allowing for a Kansas City player to receive the ball and tie the match with their shot, 1-1.

Three minutes late a mistake from Chicago’s backline allowed Kansas City to find Chewinga alone at the top of the 18-yard box and the forward made Chicago pay, 2-1 Kansas City

But in stoppage time Swanson delivered a corner kick into Kansas City’s 18-yard box that cleanly found the head of defender, Staab, and her header found the back of the net to tie the match for the Red Stars, 2-2.
