LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michelle Cooper scored in the 59th minute and the Kansas City Current extended their unbeaten run to 16 straight matches with a 1-0 victory over Angel City on Monday night in the National Women’s Soccer League.
It was a league record 19th overall win this season for the first-place Current, who have already clinched a playoff spot and the NWSL Shield. It was also Kansas City’s 10th win this season on the road.
The loss snapped a three game unbeaten streak at home for Angel City (6-11-6).
After a scoreless first half, Jun Endo had one of Angel City’s best chances in the 48th minute but her shot from distance hit the post.
Cooper broke through just moments after being subbed in, scoring on her first touch off a pass from Haley Hopkins from out in front of the goal.
Kansas City goalkeeper Lorena had her 13th shutout.
Temwa Chawinga, who leads the Golden Boot race with 14 goals, did not play for the Current because of a knee injury.
Both the Orlando Pride and the Washington Spirit had 18 wins last year, the previous league high. The Current are 19-2-2 with three games left in the regular season.
