The KC Current held off the Portland Thorns, 5-4, securing the first win in its new stadium during its NWSL regular-season opener.
Vanessa DiBernardo scored the first goal for Kansas City in its new stadium as the Current held off the Portland Thorns 5-4 on Saturday in the regular-season opener for the National Women's Soccer League. Debinha's rebound shot deflected off Thorns' goalkeeper Shelby Hogan and fell to DiBernardo, who scored in the 22nd minute. Rookie Ellie Wheeler scored moments later and the Current built a 3-1 lead by halftime.
The privately financed $120 million facility sits on the banks of the Missouri River and seats 11,500. Zaneratto, who has played in four Women's World Cups for Brazil and was signed by the Current earlier this season, scored before Smith made it 3-1 in the 43rd minute. Hamilton and Pfeiffer added second-half goals to extend the Current's lead to 5-1. But Portland rallied with Beckie's goal in the 71st minute and Smith's second in the 74th.
