48' / 0-0 | A CSU foul set the Roos up with a free kick near midfield, which Sophia Limongi sent towards the box. The ball fell to Anderson, whose shot was off the mark.
61' / 0-0 | The first Kansas City corner kick resulted in a myriad of chances for the Roos, the most dangerous of which came as Morgan McLaughlin served a ball to Page, who headed the ball and forced the Rams' keeper to make a diving save.
