Summary
Temwa Chawinga became the fastest NWSL player in history to score 25 regular-season goals when she scored Kansas City Current’s lone goal in a 1-0 victory over the Orlando Pride. Despite leaving the match in the 89th minute with an injury, her milestone achievement and KC's defensive resilience were key highlights. Head coach Vlatko Andonovski praised his team for their heart and determination as they avenged last year’s loss to Orlando. Meanwhile, Orlando’s mid-fielder Debinha and centerback Alana Cook were sidelined, while the Pride continue to falter with a recent three-game losing streak. The Current remains atop the table with a four-point cushion, but faces tougher challenges ahead.
