1' - And here we go. Here comes Marta, and the first attack cleared off by Solo for a corner. Miyama to take. That missed. Here's another one.
2' - And that corner by Marta was off. A goal kick for St. Louis. Martina Franko will be out for the rest of the season due to maternity leave.
3' - Solo scoops up that one. Here comes Woznuk. Athletica reset, Sol clear.
4' - Well, the Sol are wearing navy, so, the Village People's...ah, nevermind.
5' - Foul on Katie Larkin. Almost, Marta.
6' - Here's Miyama. St. Louis and LA are in a possession battle as Abily is shaken up.
7' - Marta couldn't find anyone there. St. Louis on the counter. Ellertson's shot is blocked.
8' - Captain Shannon Boxx to Marta, but she is rounded up by the Athletica defenders.
9' - Karina LeBlanc resets. Athletica are back on the counter, looking to grab the early lead and take some of the shine off the Sol.
10' - Los Angeles with the first offsides of the game.
11' - GOAL! St. Louis Athletica
No. 15 Amanda Cinalli Assist: No. 9 Eniola Aluko
That's only the third goal given up by the Sol this year at home. Cinalli took advantage of a blown defensive assignment by the Sol and slotted it into the net.
12' - Well this is sure going to fire up the crowd. But the Sol have been down before. Something needs to be done. Corner kick for LA.
13' - And that was not a good corner. They need to do something about not being able to deliver on these set pieces. Someone has to be open.
14' - Goal kick Athletica. St. Louis and LA return to the ball movement battle.
18' - Got a chance to meet with our good friend Robert Penner.
19' - This is good marking by St. Louis. Great save by Solo. The USA national team keeper, cooling the engines for Athletica.
21' - Too long a pass for Han Duan. Good idea for McCall Zerboni, but no one helping in the middle.
22' - Han was marked by three defenders and couldn't get it to Abily on that phase.
23' - Tina Ellertson is jostling out Marta on defense. LeBlanc gets that one.
24' - Offsides St. Louis.
25' - Athletica bides their time with the ball, and here they come. The LA defense is there to take it away.
28' - Some fancy footwork from Cinalli, but LeBlanc is there to grab that one.
29' - Boxx was trying to find Marta. That sure didn't go well. A Zerboni opportunity goes wide.
30' - Offsides for LA. Abner Rogers and Hubert Busby discuss the next play. A big opportunity there for Marta, and Solo saves it. She wants her sixth clean sheet, does Hope Solo...
32' - Good interception by Athletica to clear the danger away. Here comes the Sol counterattack...and there goes the Sol counterattack. Goal kick for St. Louis.
34' - Good stuff from Manya Makoski to dispossess Eniola Aluko.
35' - High shot from Cinalli. Goes over the bar.
36' - I hate that spinning Ronald McDonald head. It makes me think that Michael Jackson is not dead. Hey that rhymes. Owww!
37' - Have mercy, Miss Percy, is the Sol motivated to score this half? Get something done, for Chrissakes! And where the heck was Larkin passing that to?
38' - Rogers, Busby and Powell discuss plans to give the ladies their own rhetorical comeuppance at the half.
