Racing Louisville has clear path to qualify for the inaugural NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup semifinals with a win on Thursday in Orlando.
Only Racing and North Carolina remain in contention to win Group E and reach the Summer Cup semifinals after North Carolina’s win over Monterrey on Wednesday night.
Here’s how Racing can win Group E and reach the semifinals of an NWSL tournament for the second consecutive season:
- Racing must win and score more than one goal in doing so.
In this scenario, Racing would be level on points and goal differential with North Carolina but have more goals scored, which is the third tiebreaker. If Racing wins 1-0, North Carolina tops the group based on the head-to-head result on July 26, when Carolina topped Racing in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in regulation.
- Racing must win by multiple goals.
In this scenario, Racing would be level on points but top North Carolina on goal differential.
