KC Current

It was a busy weekend for the Kansas City Current. The team traveled to Evanston, Illinois, where they dropped a hard-fought 2-1 decision to Chicago Stars FC on Sunday.

Despite the loss, there were bright spots. Defender Izzy Rodriguez recorded a historic assist, while forward Haley Hopkins delivered a gritty goal in the 57th minute to keep Kansas City within striking distance. The Current pushed for a late equalizer but couldn’t break through.

They won’t have to wait long for another opportunity. The Current continue their three-match road swing on Wednesday, March 25, traveling west to face Seattle Reign FC at 8:00 p.m. CT. To learn how you can watch this match, visit the Kansas City Current website.
