Seattle won the second Derby game 2-0 and (un)officially won the 2026 Cascadia Derby on discipline. Beyond being cathartic and satisfying for Seattle, the game offered the Reign a taste of new abilities - and new responsibilities.
There are good games, bad games, dropped points, disappointments, unexpected victories, and missed opportunities in this beautiful game. For the Reign, however, playing up two and losing by two is a new one.
It was a massive three points for the Seattle Reign on Sunday evening, but it surely didn't come easy for a team battling with almost half the league for third place.
