KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Current ushered in the grand opening of CPKC Stadium, the first stadium built specifically for a National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) team, in style on Saturday, defeating the Portland Thorns 5-4 in a match that tied a league record for most total goals.

"I think this game was brilliant, to have both teams score, because I don't think one person that was here in this stadium is not going to want to be back for the next game," Lo'eau LaBonta, the Current's captain, said.
