Temwa Chawinga of Kansas City Current made NWSL history, scoring 25 career regular-season goals in just 34 games, cementing her status as a standout forward. This achievement came during a critical 1-0 victory over Orlando Pride, extending the Current's lead in the league. However, Chawinga left the match with a leg injury, a concern for her ongoing performance. The Current's coach, Vlatko Andonovski, praised the team's grit and heart despite injuries to other players during the game. Orlando's struggles continue as they lost three out of their last five matches, affecting their previous strong record.
"Happy for her, but also, I don't think Temwa's going to stop here. She's got a lot more to offer." — Vlatko Andonovski
"I'm very proud of the team. To come here and win a game, you have to not just be very good and show lots of quality, you have to have a heart. If you don't have a heart, you have no chance. And today, I think we showed heart as a team." — Vlatko Andonovski
"but all I can say is that I hope that it's not anything serious and we have them back soon." — Vlatko Andonovski
