Daily News | NWSL playoffs: San Diego, Kansas City advance with dramatic late winners
Kate Del Fava scored in the 10th minute of second-half stoppage time for Kansas City, spoiling the party at Houston’s first playoff game after nine years in the NWSL.
Lo’eau LaBonta first put Kansas City ahead in the fifth minute with a penalty kick, which she followed with her latest viral goal celebration. Sophie Schmidt equalized for Houston in the 21st. The Dash’s announced attendance of 21,284 fans shattered the team’s all-time attendance record. The actual attendance might not have been that, but it was definitely bigger than the previous record of 13,025.
Kansas City will visit this year’s top seed, Seattle’s OL Reign, in Sunday’s second semifinal . It will be the first NWSL playoff clash between teams from the cities since the former FC Kansas City beat the Reign in the 2014 and 2015 title games — and the Reign topped the standings in those seasons, too.
Coincidentally, their manager back then was the same as now, Laura Harvey. Kansas City was coached at the time by current U.S. national team manager Vlatko Andonovski.
