The Houston Dash beat the Chicago Red Stars 2-1 on a cold and windy Saturday afternoon in Bridgeview.
Houston’s Diana Ordonez scored the game-winning penalty in the 60th minute, marking the first time two Mexican players scored in a match for the same NWSL club.
María Sánchez scored for the Dash (1-0-1) in the fourth minute, tapping in a pass from Ebony Salmon.
The Red Stars (0-2-0) equalized 15 minutes later when Mallory Swanson’s corner kick was deflected into the goal.
The Red Stars nearly found a last-minute equalizer, but Houston defender Allysha Chapman flicked the shot over the goal with her head.
Goalkeeper Chris Brady had three saves for the Chicago Fire and Tyler Miller stopped two shots for D.C. United as the two teams played to a scoreless draw on Saturday night.
The Fire (1-1-3) were coming off back-to-back three-goal matches before being blanked by Miller. DC United (1-3-2) earned a measure of revenge after the Fire won twice last season by shutouts.
The Fire had an 11-9 advantage in shots, but D.C. United had three on target to just two for the Fire.
The Fire remain at home to host Minnesota United on Saturday. D.C. United returns home to host the Columbus Crew on Saturday.
