The Definitive Angle is PRO’s analysis of the week’s Video Review use in NWSL.
Week 14 overview
There was one Video Review during Week 14.
CHI vs SD: Review for goal (offside in APP) – not given
What happened: A goal was scored by Makenzy Doniak (SD) and awarded by the on-field officials.

PRO’s Opinion: This was a good use of the Video Review system to disallow a goal for offside.
