The Story:
- The Orlando Pride and Kansas City Current face off for the first time in 2024 with both teams battling for the top spot on the NWSL table. Both teams have identical 10-0-5 records, and both are plus-19 on goal differential.
- Saturday’s match also features the NWSL’s two leading goal scorers. Barbra Banda and Temwa Chawinga have both scored 11 goals this season, with Banda reaching the mark in four less games.
- With seven saves Sunday against Angel City FC, goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse picked up her NWSL-leading seventh clean sheet of the season. It also tied the Club record for most in a single season, which she set last year.
Quote of the Week:
"We're just over halfway through the season. We approach the match the same as we have done every other game as well. It doesn't change for us. We prepared the same way and we've trained the same way. We're looking forward to an exciting game away at Kansas City. We still want to be in contention at the end of the year. We've done exceptionally well at the start of the year and couldn't have imagined being in this position, still being unbeaten. We just approached it like we have done every game we've played. It will be a challenge. It will be at times difficult, but these players have shown that they're capable of producing in those tough, tough moments.”
- Head Coach Seb Hines
