A late surge from Racing Louisville nearly salvaged a point, but Seattle Reign ultimately held firm for a narrow 2-1 victory at Lumen Field. Madison Mercado opened the scoring for the hosts in the 10th minute, followed by Nérilia Mondésir doubling the lead just before halftime in the 41st minute. Despite a dominant performance in terms of shots from the visitors, with 19 attempts compared to the Reign's 6, Louisville struggled to convert their chances. Macy Blackburn’s 90+4th minute goal offered a glimmer of hope, turning the final moments into a tense scramble, but Seattle Reign W vs Racing Louisville W saw the home side secure all three points in a hard-fought NWSL encounter.
