KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Temwa Chawinga scored in her NWSL-record eighth straight game and the Kansas City Current snapped a three-game losing streak with a 1-0 win over the Utah Royals before a sellout crowd at CPKC Stadium.
Lo’eau LaBonta sent a through ball to Chawinga, who beat two defenders and finished with a hard shot as goalkeeper Mandy Haught rushed out. The Current improved to 13-3-5.
Chawinga leads the league with 15 goals, just three shy of Sam Kerr’s single-season record, with seven games remaining.
Utah (4-12-3) finished with 10 shots but couldn’t get past goalkeeper Almuth Schult, who had six saves.
