Portland ran rampant against the Chicago Red Stars, scoring three goals within the first 16 minutes.
Kelli Hubly scored first, and what a goal it was. The ball in from Sam Coffey came in with pace near the back post, and nine times out of ten, every player would look to put the ball across the box. Instead, Hubly, without taking a touch, managed to catch it sweetly.
Hubly beat Alyssa Naeher, and pandemonium ensued. Look at Hubly’s reaction; she screams with delirium at what she did, an awesome NWSL moment for the archives.
