## Resource

Denver outscored Racing Louisville 2.68 to 0.80 in expected goals on Friday night. They won 1-0. That gap — between what this team creates and what ends up on the scoreboard — is the story of the first half of their inaugural NWSL season in a single number. In this episode, Kate breaks down the 1-0 win over Racing Louisville that closed out Denver's first eleven games, then zooms out to take honest stock of what this expansion side has actually built. Ally Brazier comes off the bench three minutes before scoring her first goal for her hometown club. Nick Cushing improvises a 4-2-2-2 without Tash Flint and it works. Abby Smith makes the save that seals it. And Yazmeen Ryan creates six chances in a single match and still somehow feels underrated. This one covers the Louisville match in full, the surprise stories of the season — Brazier, Devin Lynch, Ryan, Abby Smith — and what the second half of this season needs to look like. Postgame clips from Nick Cushing, Ally Brazier, and Abby Smith. The 5280 Pitch. Women's Soccer at Altitude. Be sure to Subscribe and leave a Review! Newsletter at 5280pitch.com .
