Washington, D.C. - Seattle Reign FC fell 3-2 to the Washington Spirit. After going down 3-0 in the first 45 minutes, the Reign scored the Veronica Latsko header. The second half of the match nearly went scoreless, but rookie forward Emeri Adames found her first professional goal on the last play in stoppage time, bringing the final score to 3-2.
In the 21st minute, Washington's Ouleymata Sarr fed the ball through to Croix Bethune. Bethune took one touch before hammering a left-footed shot into the back of the net.
17 minutes later, Washington was awarded a penalty kick after Reign keeper Laurel Ivory battled for the ball against Washington forward Trinity Rodman. Andi Sullivan stepped up to the spot and converted the kick, doubling the lead for the home side.
The Spirit’s final goal of the match was scored in the 45th minute. Sullivan played a ball into space on the outside for Bethune, who crossed the ball into the middle of the Reign’s six-yard box, where Sarr was waiting to head it into the back of the net.
The second half of the match saw the return of Seattle forward Jordyn Huitema in the 60th minute. The Canadian forward immediately made an impact in the match, pushing the Reign offensively.
