Chicago Red Stars v Boston Breakers Sun June 21 4pm ET


The Chicago Red Stars will look to replicate their best performance of the season Sunday when they play the Boston Breakers at TOYOTA PARK.

The Red Stars crushed Boston, 4-0, on April 25th, in the process setting a Women’s Professional Soccer record for goals in a game that is yet to be surpassed.
Chicago has not won a game since, a streak that reached seven matches with a 1-0 loss at Sky Blue FC on Wednesday.

Sunday’s game will be webcast on chicagoredstars.com and BostonBreakers.com with both English and Spanish language audio feeds available.

English star Karen Carney is set to play after sitting out her suspension. She scored her 1st and only goal against the Breakers in the 4 -0 win last time. She will meet up again with compatriots Kelly Smith and Alex Scott. Smith didn't play in that game but i expect she will get some minutes if not a start this time. She played 30 minutes against FC Gold Pride on Wednesday night.Knee holding up enough!

Both team desperately need a win to push them back up the standings.

Red Stars Head Coach Emma Hayes after the defeat to Sky Blue on Wednesday night indicated there would be several changes in the starting line-up.

Jennie Nobis and Kelly Smith both came off the bench in Wednesday’s game against FC Gold Pride to lead the Breakers to a 1-1 tie. Smith hit a corner kick to the far post, in which Nobis headed the ball into the bottom left corner of the net in the 76th minute. It was Nobis’ first goal this season and Smith’s second assist.
