Five minutes of stoppage time. #ThatsTheSpirit #KCBaby #NWSL

The celly will get the attention but the move to cut inside is the star for me, then the confidence to take that shot around the Spirit defenders #NWSL

Worrisome looking injury for McKeown after this block on Chawinga. Brave defending but such an awkward fall. On replay looks like she got kicked directly in the teeth. #NWSL

"Not only does she make jokes, she's incredibly funny..." Yes. It often helps if you are capable of bringing the funny when doing the jokes. Follow Mike for more humor tips. 😏 #NWSL

And of course, the celly gif: #KCBaby #NWSL #KCvWAS

Really poor turnovers from the Spirit tonight as they try to build out of the back. That LaBonta goal starts with another turnover on that Spirit left side, and high regains/counterpress from KC. Great finish. 2-0 Current. #NWSL

Lo'eau LaBonta is so good. She may not be the best at doing anything, but there are so many things she does well. One of the more underrated players in recent #NWSL seasons. It also takes about 12 seconds around the team to realize she is its heart and soul

#KCBaby makes it 2-0 as Lo LaBonta has scores her sixth goal in the regular season in 2024 #KCvWAS #NWSL

30' Kansas City 2, Washington 0 Lo'eau LaBonta strikes from just outside the box to extend the Kansas City lead. #NWSL #KCBaby | The Equalizer

That's a gorgeous Lo'eau Labonta goal. She looks off Michelle Cooper, buying enough space to cut inside and blast a shot through the smallest of windows. It's 2-0 Current, 2 goals on 2 shots through 32 minutes. Spirit still looking for their first dangerous opportunity #NWSL

Great strike from LaBonta, as far down into the corner as you can get it, but also this has been about the worst defensive structure/pressing work the Spirit have had since Giráldez arrived. Missing opportunities, leaving spaces. #NWSL

Kansas City pisses me off #NWSL

The Spirit are deploying Casey Krueger in an advanced role whenever they stall in possession through the midfield. It could potentially pay off but the Current have snuffed out every outlet through 25 minutes, well scouted so far, as the Spirit have not been dangerous. #NWSL

Prime is showing tonight's KC Current and Washington Spirit - x! I'm glad to see good matches being shown in ways that will have good distribution to the public. Pretty awesome match so far! Let's keep this thing growing! #nwsl #WashKC #bettersoccer

Full credit to KC, who so far are giving the Spirit press very little to actually press. Lots of chasing, not a lot of actual pressure on whoever has the ball. That's game prep paying off. #NWSL

Almuth Schult gets her fourth start of the season in goal for the KC Current. She allowed two goals against the North Carolina Courage but has shutouts in the last two matches. Entering tonight, she'd faced 16 shots on target. #NWSL #KCBaby

It’s cut off in the highlight but it’s worth watching Almuth Schult’s play on the ball 10 seconds earlier. A game changer in Vlatko’s ideal setup #NWSL

Rewind that KC goal 15 seconds and Almuth Schult is on her own endline almost scarily breaking Washington's high press. Schult finds Cook, who plays a central ball to DiBernardo, it's another vertical ball to Prince before Cooper goes to work on the wing. Pressure: broken. #NWSL
