Unrepaired

FT: Chicago Stars 1-1 Gotham FC. Ally Schlegel’s 68th minute goal was enough for Chicago to salvage a result after not hitting the target for the first 55 min. The Stars are now without a win in their last 12 in all competitions and their last ten in the #NWSL #WithTheStars

68’ Goal Chicago Stars! Ally Schlegel heads in the cross to tie the match at one. That’s Chicago’s first goal in their last 235 minutes in the league #WithTheStars #NWSL

Nah that’s gotta be an automatic red card 🤢

39’ goal Gotham. Khyah Harper heads in the cross from Sarah Schupansky (0-1) #WithTheStars #NWSL

repairs have resumed #WithTheStars #NWSL

It appears that they’ve given up on fixing the screen #WithTheStars #NWSL

The screen is still under repair #WithTheStars #NWSL

Alyssa Naeher is back in goal for Chicago #WithTheStars #NWSL

Chicago Stars FC vs Gotham FC empty stadium picture… plus some repairs being done to the video board #WithTheStars #NWSL
