63rd Minute: Kerr brings the ball into the box before crossing to Mautz, who sends it just over the bar off a first time shot.

84th Minute: Amy Rodriguez scores her first goal of the 2019 NWSL regular season off a sliding pass from Jonsdottir, putting the Royals up 1-0 in the final minutes of the match.
