The game began with an early deflection into the back of the Blues goal from a shot by Kristie Mewis (who was actually drafted by FCKC) in the 4th minute. FC Kansas City didn’t let that get the best of them and answered with their own goal in the 9th, a beautiful goal by forward Sydney Leroux off of an assist by fellow forward Brittany Ratcliffe.
Alexa Newfield was issued a yellow card in the 15th minute for a challenge in the midfield. The Blues once again sent the ball into the back of the net in the 19th minute, only to have it called back for a foul.
