Dave BorchardtHost

0:27

And we hyped it up last week.

Dave BorchardtHost

This was the biggest game left on the current schedule.

It didn't start the way we wanted.

0:40

But then a goal late in the first half.

Dave BorchardtHost

0:42

Three goals in the second half.

Dave BorchardtHost

0:43

Jillian Carroll LetrinkoHost

0:47

Yeah, what a fun second half, right? Had to get through the trenches of the first half, as you mentioned.

J

Jillian Carroll LetrinkoHost

0:52

But this was a game what I would expect from two teams that were in the form that they were in coming into the match.

J

Jillian Carroll LetrinkoHost

1:00

We knew, and we talked about it even right here on the show, that Denver was thriving.

J

Jillian Carroll LetrinkoHost

1:03

They were really coming together and peaking at the time that they really needed to.

J

Jillian Carroll LetrinkoHost

1:07

Jillian Carroll LetrinkoHost

1:09

Jillian Carroll LetrinkoHost

We saw her at this match, uh, put one away and she really earned it.

J

Jillian Carroll LetrinkoHost

1:24

So, um, we expected it to be a good match.

J

Jillian Carroll LetrinkoHost

1:26

We knew Kansas city didn't have but was feeling great about the form that showing go is in obviously at home, uh, which is always huge for Kansas city.
