HERRIMAN, Utah (Thursday, June 5, 2025) - Utah Royals FC (1-7-2, 5 pts, 13th NWSL) travel to Kentucky to take on Racing Louisville (4-4-2, 14 pts, 8th NWSL) on Friday, June 6, at 5:30 p.m. MT at Lynn Family Stadium.
The Royals enter this matchup following a 3-1 home defeat against reigning champions, Orlando Pride, two weeks ago. Utah conceded an early goal in the 6th minute before leveling the match in the 14th minute, courtesy of Brecken Mozingo’s second-ever regular-season goal—making it two goals in two games for the Utah native. Barbra Banda and Orlando responded quickly in the 37th and 38th minutes, with Banda completing a first-half hat trick. URFC was unable to mount a comeback but showed improved defending in the second half, keeping Orlando off the scoresheet.
In the first meeting of the 2024 season, Utah visited Louisville on April 20 and fell 5-1 away from home, with rookie Olivia Griffitts scoring Utah’s only goal. In the return fixture on September 28, the Royals came away with a 1-0 home victory, courtesy of an Ana Tejeda goal that went on to win Goal of the Week.
