After a scoreless 1st half that saw the Wave fail to find the net despite numerous chances, they finally cashed in in the 58th minute. Wave forward Sofia Jakobsson was taken down in the box, resulting in a penalty kick. Alex Morgan took the PK and hit a low left footed shot that eluded the Chicago keeper for the first goal of the match.
In the 89th minute, the Wave FC added to their lead when Kaleigh Riehl found herself alone in the box on a designed set piece when the ball arrived in from Kelsey Turnbow. After controlling the ball with her chest, Riehl slotted the ball into the right corner of the net to make it 2-0 Wave FC.
"It was a great set piece, it was different than what we had been doing, our other one's weren't really working so we changed it up," said Riel. "I just found myself wide open and put it away."
