"Kansas City Current's Historic Home Opener: A 5-4 Victory and Youngest NWSL Goalscorer"

In the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) season opener, Kansas City Current defeated Portland Thorns FC 5-4 in a thrilling game at their new stadium, CPKC Stadium. Vanessa DiBernardo and rookie Ellie Wheeler scored early goals for Kansas City, while Bia Zaneratto, Kristen Hamilton, and 16-year-old Alex Pfeiffer also found the net. Despite a late rally from Portland, the Current held on for the win. The game marked the first NWSL match broadcast on ABC as part of the league's new media rights deal, and it was a sellout at the 11,500-seat stadium. Vlatko Andonovski, the former U.S. national team coach, secured his first win as the Current's coach, with support from owners Brittany and Patrick Mahomes.
