Bay FC attracted 40,000 fans to Oracle Park, but it was another tough week on the field for home sides around the National Women’s Soccer LeagueBecause only one team succeeded in taking three points for their own fans. Perhaps we should be happy with results at all, because clubs managed to keep the matchweek on just three draw, a break of the recent pattern of Augustus.
This is how each team forms with only nine games left of the regular season:
Cream of the crop
Kansas City Current (14-2-1, 43 points; @ Thorns, 2-0): The current came back to their old self in Portland on Saturday evening by scoring in the opening minute. After that they were tactically efficient and added one by more Temwa Chawinga strikes of magic. Kansas City became the first visiting team that Providence Park left with three points this season. Behind them, the chase package remains confused and the golf loss means that the power is expanding their lead to a dozen points in the Shield Race. Their pace of 2.5 points per match, if it continues, is set at the top of previous record holders North Carolina Courage, which managed 2.4 points per match in 2018.
