Reigning MVP Temwa Chawinga scored on her first shot of the new National Women’s Soccer League season and the Kansas City Current defeated the Portland Thorns 3-1 on Saturday.
This season's meeting between the teams was much like opening day in 2024. On both occasions, the Current jumped to an early 3-0 lead, but last year the Thorns clawed back into the match before falling 5-4.
