dailyloe.com – The Washington Spirit will take on Racing Louisville FC on April 28, 2026, at Audi Field. This match marks the second and final meeting of the regular season between the two teams. The Spirit aims for their third straight win while wearing their yellow Shockwave kit.
Fans are encouraged to dress in neon yellow for this event. The match is set to kick off at 7 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on Victory+ for those unable to attend. This game is the Spirit’s last home match until May 30.
In their previous encounter on March 20, the teams played to a 2-2 draw in Kentucky. Washington rallied back from a 0-2 deficit in the second half to secure a point. This upcoming match will be the final regular-season clash between the Spirit and Louisville until next year.
Historically, the Spirit holds a 6-1-7 record against Louisville, remaining unbeaten in their last 12 encounters. This unbeaten streak is the longest active run by one club against another in the league. At home, the Spirit has three wins and three draws against Racing Louisville.
Despite this favorable record, the Spirit has not won in their last three matchups, with draws in August 2025, March 2026, and last November’s quarterfinal match, where they advanced after a penalty shootout. Currently, Washington is on a two-match win streak and a three-match shutout streak.
The Spirit’s recent performance includes a decisive 4-0 victory over the Kansas City Current, the defending Shield winners. Goalkeeper Sandy MacIver has shown strong form, maintaining a goals against average of 0.67 over six matches. A clean sheet in this match would set a new club record at four consecutive shutouts.
Midfielder Leicy Santos leads the team offensively and was named the NWSL’s Player of the Week for her two-goal performance last weekend. Santos has three goals so far this season, contributing significantly to the team’s success.
