Bay FC loses to KC Current after rough start

Bay FC fell behind early and never caught up Saturday in Kansas City as they lost to the Current, 5-2.

The expansion team gave up two goals in the game’s first six minutes: First, KC forward Bia scored after an ugly Bay FC turnover in the defensive half, then Bayley Feist doubled the Current’s lead with a header assisted by Alex Spaanstra on a secondary action from a corner kick.

Bay FC (2-3-0, 6 points) answered in the 17th minute when Kayla Sharples scored on a cross from Deyna Castellanos off a short corner, but the rest of the half was scoreless and Kansas City (4-0-1, 13 points) again scored twice in quick succession early in the second half, both by Temwa Chawinga on the counter to make it 4-1 in the 62nd minute. The second was a chip from well outside the box as Bay FC keeper Lysianne Proulx was caught in between after a long ball.
