Vanessa DiBernardo led the charge for Kansas City, scoring the opening goal and providing an assist, as the Current secured a decisive 4-2 victory over Angel City FC on Saturday at CPKC Stadium. The win kept K.C.'s perfect record intact at 3-0-0.

Alexa Spaanstra and Temwa Chawinga each netted a goal, and Bia Zaneratto rounded out the scoring for Kansas City with a stoppage-time strike.

The scoring started with DiBernardo's right-footed shot in the sixth minute assisted by Chawinga following a fast break. Spaanstra doubled the Current's lead just before halftime after VAR confirmed her close-range header.

Angel City's Sydney Leroux narrowed the deficit to 2-1 early in the second half with a header assisted by Claire Emslie on a cross. However, Chawinga quickly responded for Kansas City with a well-executed shot from inside the box.

Madison Curry added another goal for Angel City following a corner kick to make the score 3-2 in the 78th minute, but it wasn't enough to turn things around, as Zaneratto sealed it with her left-footed shot during stoppage time.
