    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Two-time World Cup winner Rapinoe was never going to bring the curtain down on her remarkable career without making a few more headlines, and a fitting finale remains on the cards after delivering more moments of magic against the Red Stars.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Rapinoe’s first goal in a 3-0 win for OL Reign saw her drift inside from the left before curling a dipping strike into the bottom corner. She repeated that trick a matter of minutes later when whipping another effort into the back of the net via the inside of the post.

  • WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

    A comfortable victory on the final day of the NWSL regular season has seen OL Reign wrap up a fifth-place finish. Rapinoe will now take in at least one more game before calling it a day, with Angel City FC next on the agenda for her.
