FULL HIGHLIGHTS | Kansas City Current vs Orlando Pride 

As an England fan watching the men in the Euros, it's refreshing to see a game where the attacking players are going at the goal with directness, pace and aggression. Chawinga run from the halfway line must be in contention for goal of the season?

KC Current vs Orlando Pride really has felt like a NWSL Championship

A true NWSL blockbuster. The penalty looked a bit strange at first but perhaps it made sense after all. Franch just clattered into the Orlando player and could have injured her

Seeing a bunch of KC fans salty at Marta's celebration is honestly hilarious. Imagine being in her shoes taking a beating to her leg all night. How Lavogenz got away without a yellow card was beyond me that just TICKED Marta off

BTW who ever does your recaps needs a thank you. Love all the moments you guys put only thing i would love the lines ups at the beginning . Thank you .

Kansas and Orlando are teams that manage the Intermediate Spaces very well in order to break the Lines of Pressure. Of course, each has powerful weapons (Tabitha Chawinga from Malawi and Barbra Banda from Zambia) which can generate Rupture Breaks even in Tight Spaces. Each one has its own style. Orlando's expulsion was absolutely unnecessary (they were executing a correct Withdrawal and the Supports at that moment were evident) then they had to switch to a 4-4-2 formation and forget about High Pressing. Fortunately they found the penalty when the game was very complex. In my opinion, the Kansas Coach was too passive and fearful, they had one extra player and they had to try to Widen the Ground to try to trigger Percussions and Beat the opponent's Lines. Orlando was certainly having a hard time doing Tilts when he was in Defensive Transition.

Definitely worth staying up till 3am

Never make Marta angry, it won’t end well for you when the Queen stops having fun and starts trying to punish you.

Tense and exciting the whole time. Regardless of how you view that pen, KCC still couldn't find a way to score another goal against an Orlando Pride team of 10 at their own stadium. Round 2 in September can't come soon enough.

That penalty is the type of call that leaves a bad taste even when it might be the rigth one. You know that the GK has run over the striker, but you also know that the GK could not stop her momentum in mid air and the ball was not in play.

If you believe orlando pride is the best team in Nwsl gather here💜💜💜

It's The Banda vs Chawinga Battle for me 💪🏾

insane goals by Chawinga and Banda... especially Banda, such a goal scoring machine. Have to look it up if their countries made it, but i hope seeing both at the Olympics.

Reaction points. 1- the penalty, I'm not really sure about a) did the goalkeeper crush into the attacking player or b) the attacker crushed into the goalkeeper? they both were going for the ball. 2- Orlando grinded a game; they knew how to win it. They take advantage of Banda (they should) 3- Kansas City and Orlando are still the favorites for this year final. 4-The foul on Marta. -Well, the athletic (bigger players) take advantage of their bigger body to push the smaller player out of the ball (Banda, Showinga, are some examples). All I ask is the referee to be consistent with their calls.

Awesome, fluid game, despite all the fouls. Felt like a championship game. The rematch will be sizzling, especially if both teams are at full strength.

Pride are taking the title & going undefeated!

The ball was out of play, no PK.

Chawinga MVP

Orlando looks like the team that can win it all. They score goals like KC, and they defend like Gotham.

What a battle 😅

The two best women's NWSL football teams are the Washington Spirit and NY/NJ Gotham.

*LET'S GO PRIDE!!!*

Good job on PK foul.

Guau ese penal fue de una falta peligrosa, la portera no tenía control

Losing a game being up a player is unacceptable..!!

tbh, that yellow was a deep, dark yellow... attacked from behind, with both feet/legs, ball far away... could have been a straight red. Luckily the woman severed no injury but you can surely tear something there.

Marta plays the ball, skies it - Franch runs into her after the ball's been played away (inadvertent contact?)...did VAR play a part in it? Technically a foul inside the area results in a penalty, but...? Seems like some mental gymnastics to arrive at that decision by the ref

Chawinga needs to learn to pass she is not the only player that can score.

That was not a penalty but a good game overall. Two of the best attacking teams in the league.

Ia Good Match, Orlando X Kansa,😁👋,NWSL.💙😁

Man vs man on both teams let’s go

my 2 favorite teams! could barely watch. yes Orlando! keep going ---> ---> ---> ⚽⚽⚽

Got the Houston/Chicago right, with lineups, then you relapse. Down vote.

This game has proven that ORLANDO PRIDE IS BETTER THAN KC FC !!!👍 1- Orlando beat KC in KC field while they only have 10 players! 2- Now, face to face between Chawinga vs Banda, Banda shows she’s faster and more skillful! 3- Orlando Pride is still undefeated, KC is not! ORLANDO PRIDE IS THE TOP TEAM. Congrats to ladies Pride and coach Sen Hines!!!🌹💖⚽️🇺🇸👍🤩

How is it that these 2 teams are sooo much better than the rest…. Hmmm. Seems they have players that are stronger and faster up front, making some of the elite female defenders look like high school players 😅

❤

KC was clearly the better team

Why show none of the yellow cards?

It was not the penalty but their inability to score goals, Period rio.

Garbage highlights

Current looked too tentative in the first half. Referee never let the game flow. Whoever won or if there was a tie, the game was dominated by poor officiating. Each team suffered terrible calls against. If this was the best NWSL had to offer for the "best"game of the year, it's still decades behind the men's. A poor call was followed by a make-up call. Grade school quality. Sad.
