Kansas City NWSL took on the Portland Thorns for the second time in their season Sunday afternoon and fell 2-0 despite a fairly strong effort.
Both of Portland's goals were scored in the first half. The Thorns knocked in their first goal in the 10th minute when Meghan Klingenberg crossed it into the box, and it took a deflection off of KC’s Kristen Edmonds for an own goal.
Portland scored again in the 43rd minute when Meghan Klingenberg once again crossed the ball in and it took two deflections off Sophia Smith then Marissa Everett, finally going in as a goal for Everett.
