The Chicago Red Stars' undefeated streak came to an end on April 13 after a 1-0 loss to Angel City FC at SeatGeek Stadium.

An unlucky touch by Chicago defender Maximiliane Rall led to an own-goal that gave the Los Angeles squad its first victory of the season. With her appearance in the match, the Red Stars' Sam Staab now has the most consecutive regular-season appearances, with 94 in the NWSL. Shea Groom's substitution into the match in the second half marked the forward's first minutes since May 2023, when she suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Chicago will look to bounce back at Seattle's Lumen Field on April 21 as the Red Stars take on the Reign in their second matchup of the season.
