On August 12, the Houston Dash took on Racing Louisville FC as part of Dynamo Charities weekend.
Despite putting pressure on Louisville throughout the game, Houston was forced to walk away with a scoreless draw.
During the third minute, the stadium said thank you to Dash legend Rachel Daly.
Houston’s first chance at scoring would come in the fourth minute. Another chance would follow in the fifth, followed by a third opportunity in the eighth minute.
Louisville’s first chance would be in the 10th minute. Three minutes later, a corner kick almost found its way to the net.
Houston would have another chance to go up 1-0 in the 17th minute, but again came up short.
Louisville would have a chance in the 22nd minute to break the scoreless draw, but came up empty.
Houston’s best chance in the first half came in the 31st minute when Louisville bobbled the ball in front of the goal. Despite a clear shot, the ball went wide.
Louisville would see the first disciplinary action in the 33rd minute when Satara Murray was called for a yellow card after tripping a Dash player in control of the ball. Murray would get her second yellow of the match for the same thing in the 44th minute and got ejected for accumulating two yellow cards in the match.
In the 41st minute, Maria Sanchez had a good chance to score, but just missed. Houston had one more chance in the 44th minute to go up, but came up short.
The second half saw Houston come out firing on all cylinders as they continued to pressure Louisville.
Between the 53rd and 56th minute, Houston had four good chances to score. Unfortunately, three of those shots went right to the goalkeeper.
Louisville’s Gemma Banter would see the third yellow card of the match in the 60th minute after a bad foul was called.
From there, Houston continued the pressure, but came up short.
The Dash play Wednesday against Gotham FC and hope to continue their playoff push.
