With goals from Paige Metayer and Lena Silano, the short-handed Washington Spirit opened the NWSL Summer Cup with a 2-1 win over Mexico’s Chivas de Guadalajara on Sunday in Chester, Pennsylvania.

Metayer opened the scoring in the Group D match at Subaru Park with a header in the 13th minute, then Silano doubled the Spirit’s lead in the 47th minute after parlaying a pass from Brittany Ratcliffe. The duo, usually substitutes, seized the opportunity to start for a squad that was six players short due to the Paris Olympics.
