Francisca Ordega's goal hands Washington Spirit away draw

Francisca Ordega was on target as Washington Spirit secured a 1-1 away draw against Chicago Red Stars at the Toyota Park.

Having gone a month plus without a goal since her brace against the Sky Blues in May, the Nigerian forward's strike ensured the Spirit picked a vital away point.

Ordega got her side in front in the 42nd minute thanks to Cheyna Williams' well taken long ball but Christen Press leveled for the hosts eight minutes from full time.

The goal is the Super Falcons forward third of the season in nine appearances and five starts for the James Gabarra's ladies this term.

The draw moves Spirit to the eighth position on the log with eight points from nine matches and will face Portland Thorns at the Maureen Hendricks Field on June 25.
