A penalty scored by the Western New York Flash sends Kansas City to the bottom of the table.
FC Kansas City fell to the Western New York Flash on Friday night in their NWSL season opener. The goal came from Samantha Mewis (younger sister of Kristie) in the 71st minute off a penalty kick caused by a handball from Becky Sauerbunn. The Blues debuted a new starting lineup, while the Flash proved their change in coaching staff was a worthwhile switch.
Mewis's penalty kick was not the only one of the night.
