Dash fall to Chicago Red Stars in Challenge Cup Opener

The Houston Dash faced the Chicago Red Stars in the first game of the 2022 Challenge Cup for both teams.

Katie Naughton and the Dash would strike first in the 19th minute off a free kick after Chicago’s Bianca St. Georges was issued a yellow card in the 18th minute.

The Red Stars would tie the match in the 27th minute with a goal by Mal Pugh.

That would be the halftime score.

The second half turned out to work in Chicago’s favor when Arin Wright converted a controversial penalty kick in the 57th minute. Two minutes later, Mal Pugh would put another one in to make it 3-1 Chicago.

That would be the final score.

The Dash take on the Kansas City Current on March 30 at 7:30 pm. That match will be at PNC Stadium. Tickets are available through the SeatGeek app.
