KC Current drop second-half hammer on Seattle Reign at sun-splashed CPKC Stadium

The Kansas City Current hit the jets throughout their Sunday afternoon home match against Seattle Reign FC.

The Current gained three points in the National Women’s Soccer League standings with a convincing 5-2 victory at CPKC Stadium.

It was a busy opening half for both squads. Reign forward Jordyn Huitema scored the first of her two Sunday goals in the 24th minute. KC’s Temwa Chawinga answered in the 28th, but Huitema struck again in the 41st.

Lauren then leveled the match for the Current during first-half stoppage time.

The Current continued its barrage in the second half: Vanessa DiBernardo scored in the 46th minute, Chawinga added her second of the day in the 47th and Lo LaBonta converted a penalty kick in the 67th.

With Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Royals stars Vinnie Pasquantino, Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. among those roaring approval from the sun-splashed stands, the rout was on.

That 5-2 score endured to the end, even through 15 minutes of end-of-game stoppage time.
