Tonight at BBVA Compass Stadium is 90’s night, and the Houston Dash will face the two-time NWSL Champion FC Kansas City. The Dash are trying to accomplish a club record by having their seventh victory of the season. They lost to Portland 2-1, last Saturday, and Carli Lloyd returns after completing time with the USWNT. Kansas City ended their losing streak with a 2-2 draw against the Boston Breakers. Even though the Dash lost last week they still remain in the NWSL playoff chase, just four points out of fourth place. Both teams have gotten off to a slow start, even though both have had a chance to score it has not happened. Due to the heat there was a hydration break called by the referee, Robi Hullner. In the 35th minute the Dash sub out #10 Carli Lloyd for #5 Cari Roccaro. The first half ended with neither team scoring, we’ll see what the second half brings.
