Chawinga Sparks Kc Current Vs Angel City Fc With Five-Goal Week
Temwa Chawinga’s five-goal week is the headliner when kc current vs angel city fc kicks off Wednesday at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. Kansas City enters at 5-4-0 with 15 points in sixth place, while Angel City sits at 3-4-1 with 10 points in 12th.
The Current also carry a four-game winning streak in the series and have outscored Angel City 9-3 over that stretch. The last meeting in Los Angeles ended 1-0 on Oct. 9, 2025, when Michelle Cooper scored in the 59th minute off a Haley Hopkins assist.
Chawinga and Cooper
Chawinga scored a hat trick on May 10 and added a brace on May 15, giving her five goals last week and five career regular season multi-goal games. She has five goals and one assist this season and is No. 3 on the Golden Boot leaderboard, with at least one goal in 34 of her 53 career league matches.
Cooper has been the cleanest link to that production. She leads Kansas City with three assists in 2026, had her first career multi-assist performance against Houston on May 15, and has assisted seven of Chawinga’s regular season goals since the start of the 2024 season. Together, they have combined for seven goals and four assists.
Lorena’s shutout run
Kansas City arrives with back-to-back 3-0 shutout wins over Chicago and Houston, its first such run of the 2026 season. Lorena earned both clean sheets and now has 16 career regular season shutouts.
She is also one win from joining a narrow club. Lorena has 24 regular season wins and can become the 14th goalkeeper in league history to reach 25 wins with one club.
BMO Stadium and the series edge
Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CT and 7 p.m. PT. The match airs on Victory+ and the World Feed, with Kansas City viewers able to watch locally on The Spot – Kansas City 38 and listen on 90.9 The Bridge.
Elizabeth Ball also enters one appearance from two round-number milestones, sitting one away from 80 regular season starts and one away from her 95th appearance for the club. Kansas City’s edge in Los Angeles is built on the same spine: Chawinga finishing chances, Cooper feeding them, and a back line that has already held Angel City to three goals in the last four meetings.
