North Carolina Courage – Kerolin, 54’ (Debinha)Ĭhicago Red Stars 4, Kansas City Current 0.After spending weeks 3-14 at the bottom of the table, North Carolina’s total rebound is becoming one of the best stories of the NWSL season. Wednesday night’s win did not immediately propel the Courage into playoff contention, but it became their fifth win in six games and featured star Kerolin’s fifth goal of the past three games. Angel City had a lot of trouble getting things moving again after Kerolin’s goal and ultimately could not get level, much less ahead. But in the 54th minute, Kerolin – who has been essentially unstoppable for the Courage – found the top left corner off a cross from teammate Debinha and gave North Carolina the lead. Both goalkeepers were tested early and often, and the clean sheet at halftime was a testament to both teams’ dedicated defenses. So it was no surprise that the match kicked off with speed, intensity, and aggression. The race for the 2022 NWSL playoffs has been extremely close and competitive, and both sides were teetering on the edge of playoff contention.
