Washington Spirit have done it again. Their perfect playoff record on home soil remains intact after a pulsating 2-1 victory over the Utah Royals booked their place in the NWSL Championship.
It didn't start well. Cloé Lacasse stunned the home crowd inside two minutes with a direct corner kick goal - the fastest in postseason history and the first ever Olimpico scored in NWSL playoff action.
The shock lasted barely six minutes. Trinity Rodman threaded a pass to Sofia Cantore, who fired home the equaliser in the eighth minute, becoming the first Italian player to find the net in the NWSL playoffs.
Clara Luvanga then sealed it in the 56th minute. Her fourth goal in just seven appearances since arriving in September proved decisive - a remarkable return from the recent addition.
Spirit will contest the NWSL Championship on Saturday 21 November. Their opponents hinge on tomorrow's second semi-final between Gotham FC and Kansas City Current, NWSL reports.
