Sanchez brazenly attacked by sprinklers during halftime interview

Monterrey struggled to slow down North Carolina Courage star Ashley Sanchez on Wednesday, but the halftime sprinklers appeared to have a bit more success.

Sanchez scored just before the break against Rayadas in the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup, giving the Courage the lead.

The U.S. women’s national team playmaker was the subject of CBS’s halftime interview, which led to a hilarious and ill-timed moment for the halftime sprinklers to go off at WakeMed Soccer Park.

Sanchez’s interview went something like this:

“They’re a really good team, they know how to possess the ball, they’re really physical and they’ve had a couple of chances but I think we’re doing well … Oh shoot. Oh my gosh! Ahhh!”

Temperatures were in the 90s on Wednesday, so this sprinkler attack was not only brazen but hopefully refreshing too.

The Courage, by the way, went on to win 3-0.
