Thompson, who was named the league’s March/April Rookie of the Month, scored her third goal of the season in the 32nd minute. The forward ran onto a pass from Emslie and cut the ball to her right foot near the end line. From a tight angle, Thompson chipped a shot off the far post and into the goal.

Emslie doubled Angle City’s lead in the 43rd, sliding to connect with a cross from Endo, before Endo’s left-footed shot made it 3-0 in first-half stoppage time.

Running onto a dropped pass from Kizer in the 57th, Isabel Rodriguez blasted a one-touch shot with her left foot into the goal. It was her first professional goal.

Kizer pounced on a rebound from midfielder Debinha’s shot, making it 3-2 in the 61st.

Kansas City (2-4-0) finished with 11 shots, but goalkeeper DiDi Haracic made six saves to secure the win for Angel City.
