Debinha

Uh, Haley Hopkins walked a ball into the goal f- in the 24th minute to get a goal.

Debinha, hat trick, natural hat trick, boom, boom, boom, three goals in a row, and a late Timwa goal.

What do we need to discuss from this game?

How about the fact...

...

Debinha hat trick, moving into fifth place, strengthening their playoff position.

Also Saturday, Boston Legacy, this was a doozy, beat Portland 4 to 2 in one of the wildest finishes of the weekend, and Portland is still above the playoff line, but with just three games left, those dropped points could matter for seeding.

And on Sunday, our Angel City was in action against Gotham FC.

But first, it is the factoid of the week.

Debinha had a hat trick for Kansas City one week after Haley Hopkins had a hat trick for Kansas City.

First time ever a team has hat tricks in consecutive games.

Add Timwa Shuwinga's hat trick earlier in the season, and it is the first time that three different players from the same club have had a hat trick in the same season, and Kansas City now a little bit more insulated in that playoff race.

Thad, five to one for the Kansas City Current over Bay FC.

Debinha, hat trick.

Nice little win for The Current.

And that's coming off a Hopkins hat trick the previous week.

There's still so many things about this team that could be better and should be better and c- maybe someday will be better.

But they still have a lot of talented players.

Debinha, when she is on, I mean, again, she's kind of old.

I mean, Cindy's gonna yell at me for this, but, so she's-

The Current sit at 13-5-9, fifth in the standings.

But if you look at the headlines, Debinha's hat trick, Wilson's red card, DeMello's emotional return.

The league is evolving faster than your buildup play is adapting.

So here is what we are tackling today.

Brekin Mozingo scored late in stoppage time to pull them into a 1-1 draw.

Savannah DeMello returned after collapsing last season.

Debinha hit a hat trick for them.

Debinha with a hat trick.
