The Kansas City Current and the Chicago Fire faced off with a chance to win their group and advance in the 2022 NWSL Challenge Cup. KC would be able to advance on a draw or win, only a loss would end their tournament.
And they would do enough to advance.
Their starting lineup included a second start for goalkeeper Cassie Miller, formerly of the Red Stars. The formation saw a backline of Weber, Winebrenner, Leach, Ball and Rodriguez, two d-mids with Scott and Edmonds, Pickett at the 10 and Hamilton and Bennett at forward.
