KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Current's quest for a National Women’s Soccer League championship continues after a 1-0 victory over the North Carolina Courage in the quarterfinal round of the playoffs on Saturday.
Temwa Chawinga, who broke the NWSL single-season goal-scoring record this season, scored at the eight-minute mark off her own rebound to give the Current the lead.
Chawinga made history with that score as she netted the 100th-ever goal in the NWSL playoffs.
CPKC Stadium, the first stadium purpose-built for a women’s professional sports team, hosted a playoff game for the first time ever.
The Current will go on the road next week to face top overall seed Orlando Pride in the NWSL playoff semifinals.
