Hi everyone! In this blog we will be writing about the 2020 Challenge Cup matches that took place on July 8th. Let's get started!
Utah Royals FC v OL Reign
Both teams took a lot of shots in this game. Almost the entire game went scoreless but then in the first minute of five minutes of extra time, Yuka Momiki for OL Reign, crossed the ball into the 18-yard box where Bethany Balcer headed the ball into the left side of the net! The game finished with OL Reign taking the win 1-0.
Sky Blue FC v Houston Dash
The first half was very eventful! Seventeen minutes in, Paige Monaghan received the ball, dribbled around Houston's goalie and passed the ball into the goal! Sky Blue scored their first goal of the tournament! Then in the thirty-fourth minute, Nahomi Kawasumi took advantage of Jane Campbell being off her line and shot it over her head and into the goal! It was a really nice goal! Sky Blue was up 2-0! There were some pretty nice shots and saves in the second half but neither team scored. The final score ended up being Sky Blue 2 Houston Dash 0.
