Sam Kerr's Chicago Red Stars have the end of season blues as their title race was dealt a blow at the end of August.
In the NWSL Sam Kerr's Chicago Red Stars have dropped off the title race in the United States with two losses in a week.
Kerr completed 90 minutes in a 2-1 loss to Orlando Pride for whom Alanna Kennedy played 90 minutes and was sent off in the dying ember of the match.
This morning Kerr played a full match as league leaders Portland Thorns bounced them 3-0. Hayley Raso started and was substituted after 85 minutes while Ellie Carpenter started and played just over an hour. Caitlin Foord was an unused sub.
WOAH! What a strike from Sam Kerr.
