The Kansas City Current opened the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup with a draw on the road, but the scoreline doesn’t tell the story. They thoroughly controlled Racing Louisville FC on Friday night, despite playing away from home. It’s technically preseason, despite what the announcers kept saying, so of course there were mistakes. That said, there is a lot to look forward to in 2022.
The Goal Allowed
Let’s get the negative out of the way. I thought Sam Mewis was culpable on the goal. Her cross clears no defenders and sets up a quick counter with the left back Hailie Mace right next to her so she’s out of position.
