g+ GameFlow: NWSL Regular Season North Carolina Courage v Chicago Stars on May 16, 2026. #NCvCHI ⚽️🤖

Lip readers, do your thing. Wrong answers only.

Kind of the ideal game for @nccourage.com: Goals by Sanchez and Manaka Goals by forwards Ijeh and Schlegel Clean sheet for Sheridan The return of Wingate Let’s keep it rolling!

Vibes are 🆙 after 4 goals in the second half for @nccourage.com 👏

Win, we did 💫

#NWSL FT: NC Courage 4, Chicago 0 Manaka and Ashley Sanchez on another level 📈 Great combination play and individual technique. All 4 goals in 2nd half. Mallory Swanson returned for the Stars, which is a silver lining. Chicago's goal difference is now -18 after 10 games📉

A magical Shinny & Manaka link up 🎌

PLAY THE SONG AND CUE THE W CAT!!

Oh my!!

WELCOME BACK OLIVIA WINGATE!

Remember when Mak Lind said he was obsessed with goals? We’re guessing he’ll be happy with this match.

MANAKA!!!

FIRST COURAGE GOAL FOR ALLY SCHLEGEL 💞

IJEH FIRST NWSL GOOOAALLLLL

SCHLEGEL!!!

a goal and an assist for NC Courage star Sanchez because that's how she rolls

SANCHEZ!!!!

Good news for us.

Ask and ye shall receive. 🙏 😆😆😆 @nccourage.com

Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Sanchez and Manaka create a scoring chance.

The floodgates could now open for Ijeh.

Been wanting Schlegel / Pinto all week

IJEH!!!!

Nice play, Sheridan!

What say you? Sounds like Amazon Prime issues have continued?

As well as we’ve played in the first half, we really need to put one in the back of the net.

We really want to see Ijeh put one of those away.

Manaka and Sanchez are terrors on the left side, creating another great scoring chance.

Okafor with some great pressure that creates the turnover and scoring chance.

Two points for Weatherholt!

Magic just missed.

Welcome back Brianna Pinto.

The force is strong with this lineup.
