Sentnor: "From the moment I got here, professionalism stands out." #KCBaby

Beginning the introductory press conference for Ally Sentnor with the KC Current.

"This was a big one for us. We're excited," said GM Caitlin Carducci. #KCBaby

It's 10 points clear at the top for KC Current as Utah does #KCBaby a solid for the second time this weekend.

The Current now has a momentary double-digit lead at the top of the table. Will depend on results elsewhere if it stands. But a 2-0 win is yet another statement for the Current at the top. Against the hottest team in the league that wasn't themselves.

Seven straight wins in NWSL play. #KCBaby

Hopkins goes in the book. Well earned yellow. #KCBaby

Ella Hase with a terrible challenge on Chawinga. Game has gotten out of hand now because ref has been too afraid to give yellows early on. Louisville in their feelings with some of these chippy challenges and off-ball things. #KCBaby

Nasty off the ball targeting of Michelle Cooper. Not quite sure who that was. She comes off for Haley Hopkins though. Mass subs here.

Rocky, Hopkins, Long, on for Cooper, Hutton, and Bia. #KCBaby

It's Elizabeth Ball! A goal in her 100th career game doubles the Current lead. 2-0 in the 73rd.

The Current score in bunches, and now Louisville is in a tough spot. #KCBaby

There it is. Chawinga gets a goal. 1-0 to the Current. Cooper with a blistering cross in. Seemed pretty close on offside tbh. Margins.

And just like that Debinha gets subbed in too. Diabolical.

Tbf, if Mace did that Current fans would boo too.

I think she's lucky that's not red. Slo mo shows she took a peak at where Rodriguez was and sizes her up. That's usually enough for SFP especially in collisions/force to head. #KCBaby

Kayla Fischer with a dangerous and reckless challenge on Izzy Rodriguez. Goes into the book and rightfully so. #LOUvKC

Hailie Mace is so good at reading and cutting danger out.

I really like what I've seen from Lacho so far. So active. Maybe not incisive in passing you'd expect from a 10, but fits what the Current want to do very well. #KCBaby

Scoreless at the half. Laurel Ivory with some great saves. Think the Current have enough to win this. #KCBaby

Laurel Ivory with a clutch double save scenario. Such a good shot stopper, and recovers well to cover near post. Current are blessed with depth literally everywhere. #KCBaby

Heavy, heavy touch at the last second otherwise it's an easy slip pass to Cooper for Bia. That was one of the best chances the Current have had so far. #KCBaby

Two teams that counter press as well as the other have led to some pure chaos to start this game. #KCBaby starting to take a bit more control of the game through possession.

My word that first touch from Bia out of the air. #KCBaby

Never said they aren't! Just think this team is so well drilled on efficiency that the long shots will take a decline, because they can find her in better areas. Will take a banger from distance or a river goal though.

Or maybe it goes down since the midfield and wings actually have good service to offer now.

Also, in the aftermath of both teams deciding to make today wild for me, we've got a game to play.

Here's the KC Current lineup. Debinha is available off the bench. Lacho starts in the 10 role. Otherwise, a first choice XI.
