After a quiet first half from both sides, the more dangerous and more frequent attacking play came from Vlatko Andonovski's team. Still, Kansas City missed the presence of Temwa Chawinga, who wasn't feeling 100%. With plenty of cushion on top of the table and a long unbeaten streak, Chawinga can take all the time in the world before returning to action.

The NWSL's transfer window is officially closed, and for the second straight time, it involved a world-record deal -- this time for an incoming player. Lizbeth Jacqueline Ovalle moved from Tigres to the Orlando Pride last week and set the new women's global transfer record at $1.5 million, per ESPN sources. But there have been several other high-profile transfers involving NWSL players and some U.S. women's national team hopefuls, too.
