KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Current ushered in the grand opening of CPKC Stadium, the first stadium built specifically for a National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) team, in style on Saturday, defeating the Portland Thorns 5-4 in a match that tied a league record for most total goals.
"I think this game was brilliant, to have both teams score, because I don't think one person that was here in this stadium is not going to want to be back for the next game," Lo'eau LaBonta, the Current's captain, said. "They are going to tell more people. Everybody's going to want to come now because that was a show."
