Final Result: Sol-Freedom
Sol 2 Freedom 0
It was more than a little disjointed at times and occasionally it seemed like the vast expanse of Home Depot Center turf was swallowing up the 22 players, but an announced 14,832 saw the Sol win the first-ever WPS game Sunday at Home Depot Center.
Camille Abily sealed the win in the 87th minute from an assist by Marta after the Freedom were caught pressing forward for the equalizer.
The closest the Freedom came to a goal was in the 64th minute when Lori Lindsey hit the post. The Freedom had just two shots on target the whole game (the Sol had eight).
