  "account": "Sunday's game saw Houston Dash's offense completely shut down as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Seattle Reign at Lumen Field. The only goal of the match was scored by Maddie Dahlien in the 52nd minute, assisted by fellow Seattle player Maddie Mercado. The Seattle Reign (8-4-8, 28 points) secured all the points needed to follow up Houston's (7-5-9, 26) consecutive losses on the West Coast with another loss. Houston had only one shot on goal throughout the game, compared to the Reign's five, with Seattle controlling the match by enjoying 57% possession and largely dictating the play. Houston Dash will now face Orlando Pride at 6 p.m. Sunday in Florida, with their next home game scheduled for Saturday, September 12, against Utah Royals at Shell Energy Stadium.",
  "summary": "Houston mustered just one shot on goal as Seattle largely controlled the match and got the game's only goal early in the second half.",
