In the second half, the defense held strong. KC only allowed the Wave one goal in the 87th minute, partially due to saves from AD Franch.
With hopes of extending the unbeaten streak to 10 matches, the Current (6-4-4) return to Children’s Mercy Park on Friday, Aug. 19.
Set to begin at 7 p.m., KC hosts Angel City FC.
