64 min: A break in play here as Gautrat is down after hitting the ground in an awkward way here.

Think she may have got her foot stuck in the ground as she went over.

61 min: Cudjoe speeds down the line but Gorden does enough to put her off and the ball runs out for a goal kick.

Chicago have defended really well since going behind early on.

57 min: GOAL! Another counter attack and this one could be over here.

Luebbert powers through the middle of the pitch and slides in Watt who makes no mistake as she pokes beyond Sheridan.

Surely game over?

54 min: Sky Blue have come out aggressive in the second half so far and they look the more likely to score.

But we said that for much of the first half and they ended up going in 3-1 down…

51 min: Sky Blue are pressing high again and forcing Chicago into rushing their passes.

But the last ditch challenges have been impressive from Chicago as Biegalski cuts out another through ball.

A corner then comes in for Sky Blue but Naeher punches away well.

48 min: Onumonu finds space through the middle. She holds up the ball and then plays it to Purce but she is snuffed out.

Chicago have been defensively very sound since the opening 10-15 minutes.

47 min: Worth mentioning that Sky Blue have swapped keepers for the second half after Haracic’s error. Sheridan is now in goal for the New Jersey-based side.

Tough one to take for Haracic, that.
