The Kansas City Current, led by Temwa Chawinga's record-tying goal, beat Racing Louisville FC 2-0 at Lynn Family Stadium on Saturday.

Chawinga scored in the second minute with a right-footed shot from the left side of the box to tie the record for goals scored in a single National Women's Soccer League season. Chawinga's 18th goal of the season tied Sam Kerr's mark set with the Chicago Red Stars in 2019. Debinha assisted on Chawinga's goal. 

Vanessa DiBernardo added another goal in the 86th minute from a free kick.

Chawinga's early goal set the tone for Kansas City (13-7-3). Goalkeeper Almuth Schult made three saves for the shutout.

Racing Louisville (6-7-10) struggled to find a rhythm offensively despite several attempts from Savannah DeMelo and Emma Sears. DeMelo led her team with three shots, while Sears managed two attempts on target but couldn't convert. Katie Lund, Racing's goalkeeper, recorded three saves.
