Ella & André react to the Spirit's narrow loss to Orlando Pride – well, more accurately, Barbra Banda. The Zambian star made her first NWSL start and showed why she was worth several bags.

We discuss what worked and what didn't when defending Banda, the lineup tweak to start Paige Metayer over Ashley Hatch, Ouleye Sarr's perfect self-assessment, Bethune's first assist, and Trinity Rodman seeking her first goal.

Then we look ahead to Wednesday's game against the Chicago Red Stars. We chat about how the defense can adjust during this run against elite attacking talent, and how the Spirit can find success in attack against a stingy Red Stars defense.
