“Anytime you get to be in a semifinal it’s an exciting moment,” Current head coach Matt Potter.
The Kansas City Current (#2 seed)host the North Carolina Courage (#3 seed) in the Challenge Cup semifinal tonight at 7:30 p.m. CT at Children’s Mercy Park. This is the first knockout match for the Current.
Both the Current and the Courage dropped their NWSL regular season openers. North Carolina fell 2-1 to expansion side Angel City FC while Kansas City fell 3-0 at Portland.
While this is the first knockout or playoff match for the Current, they do have a number of players that have experienced these types of matches.
