But today\u2019s match brought out their best performance, a large home crowd, and the outcome they have been patiently working for.<\/p>\n<p>In front of nearly 10,000 fans, the Chicago Red Stars clinched their spot in the NWSL championship next weekend in Cary, North Carolina, with a 1-0 win over Portland Thorns FC. Sunday afternoon\u2019s win rewrote a story that many have become accustomed to during this NWSL season; that Sam Kerr and Yuki Nagasato are one of the most dynamic offensive pairings in the league.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood players like to play with good players. Yuki has made a huge transition from going from an old school nine to wide player. They understand each other\u2019s movements, the way they get in and off each other, the spaces they find,\u201d said Chicago Red Stars head coach Rory Dames. \u201cHopefully we\u2019ll see it for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_82053\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82053\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-82053\" src=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/0-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/0-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/0-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/10\/0.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-82053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Golden Boot winner Sam Kerr, scores game-winner that sends the Chicago Red Stars to the NWSL Championship. (ISI Photography)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>From the first whistle, the Red Stars were aggressive offensively, breaking the 0-0 scoreline in the eighth minute off a beautifully played ball from Yuki Nagasato over the Portland backline to Sam Kerr. This goal marks Sam Kerr\u2019s 19th goal of the year and Yuki Nagasato\u2019s ninth assist, extending their statistical leads in these respective categories.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Chicago controlling many early opportunities, the Thorns had the Red Stars on their heels for the better part of the second half, out shooting Chicago seven attempts to five. After an early goal, Chicago adjusted to a more defensive strategy and the spirit of the home field crowd proved to be an advantage as the game became more physically taxing.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the fans&#8217; impact, Dames said. \u201cHuge. [It was the] 75th minute when they started chanting the hype cheers that went out on video Saturday night and we were on the back foot a little bit. You could just see the group get a little bit of life and come back into it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This victory is one that Chicago players set their sights on after their semifinal loss last year against the North Carolina Courage, who the Red Stars will face in the final match Sunday, Oct. 27.<\/p>\n<p>Kerr, the lone goal scorer, was excited for the opportunity ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels amazing. Obviously, last year was really disappointing for us and this year we\u2019ve been reformed. We\u2019ve been waiting 13 months for this game. We\u2019ve been working toward this game all year. We deserve to be there,\u201d said Kerr, \u201cWe will stick together and do what we do every week. That is believing in each other. Their (North Carolina) is a great team. They\u2019ve been the best team for the last three or four years and they are not a team we take lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Red Star\u2019s next game comes against the defending NWSL champions, who ended the regular season atop league standings and will have home-field advantage. The Red Stars have yet to lose to the Courage this season with a 2-0-1 edge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is one more game left. Let\u2019s do it. Let\u2019s bring the trophy back and then close down the city and have a party,\u201d said Kerr.<\/p>\n<p>The NWSL Championship game is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 27,\u00a0 WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina. Fans can watch the Championship game live on ESPN at 2:30 p.m. CTD.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: The Chicago Red Stars celebrate their victory.
