The Spirit boosted its postseason chances significantly with a 2-1 victory over visiting Kansas City.
It also leveled a critical late-season match against Kansas City. After Trinity Rodman added a dramatic goal in stoppage time at Audi Field, the Spirit emerged with a 2-1 victory that came with a host of benefits — for their psyches and their place in the standings.
“We needed that goal,” Rodman said of Sarr’s equalizer. “I think the goal changed the entire atmosphere. ... It was like, ‘Okay, we’re in it; the crowd’s in it.’ ”The Spirit entered Saturday night winless in its previous seven league games, a stretch of four losses and three ties in which it was outscored 15-6 and tumbled down the NWSL standings. Its previous win came June 18, also in come-from-behind fashion against Kansas City.
But by ending its skid before 11,607 on a warm, early fall Saturday evening, the Spirit jumped from a precarious hold on the sixth and final playoff spot to sole possession of fourth with just two games left.“It’s been a little rough the past few games,” defender Tara McKeown said. “But just to get that win and know that we can come back from hard situations going into fighting for a playoff spot and into the playoffs, I think that that’s really going to help us.
In the waning moments, the 21-year-old Rodman fired a shot with a Current defender closing in that beat goalkeeper AD Franch. It was her fifth goal of the season, the second time she scored in stoppage time and the first time she found the net in league play since June 3.
