It’s the second of three road games for OL Reign tonight as the club plays their first game at Lynn Family Stadium against expansion side Racing Louisville. The game kicks off at 4:30 PM PT and will air on Paramount+ for fans in the U.S., while international viewers can watch on Twitch.
OL Reign enter the match tied for second place with 28 points and a 9-7-1 record. Racing Louisville currently sit in 9th with 16 points and a 4-8-4 record. After this game, OL Reign will head to Washington, D.C., where they’ll finish their road trip against the Spirit on September 12.
The Reign will need to be alert for all 90 minutes, as the duo of Nadia Nadim and Ebony Salmon up top already have a combined seven goals and two assists for Racing in just over 1,200 minutes.
