The Kansas City Current beat the Utah Royals 2-0 on Saturday at America First Field in Sandy, delaying the Royals' bid for an NWSL playoff spot, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. [1]
Haley Hopkins scored both goals, a header off a corner kick in the 21st minute and another in the first minute of stoppage time on a pass from Temwa Chawinga. The Current (14-9-5) moved past the Royals (14-10-4) into fourth place. [1]
The Royals could have clinched a playoff spot with a win and help from other results. They played without leading scorer Mina Tanaka, who has nine goals and was out with a hamstring injury, and defender Miyabi, who was out with a hip injury. The Royals have lost all six meetings with the Current. [1]
Utah has two regular-season games left, starting Friday at 7:30 p.m. at home against the Seattle Reign. [1]
