The still-undefeated Chicago Red Stars return home to SeatGeek Stadium April 13, hosting West Coast club, Angel City FC. Chicago (2-0-1, 7 pts) looks to extend their no-loss streak to four, remain one of the four undefeated National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) teams and keep the Red Stars’ spot near the top of the table. Meanwhile, Angel City (0-2-1, 1 pt) seek their first win of 2024 and to rise from last place on the NWSL table.
The Chicago Red Stars’ undefeated streak came to an end tonight after a 0-1 loss to Angel City FC. An unlucky touch by defender, Maximiliane Rall, led to an own goal that gave the Los Angeles side their first victory of the season. Chicago will look to bounce back in Seattle next week as they take on the Reign in their second matchup of the season.
