KC Current Rookie Ties NWSL Record For Fastest Goal
KC Current rookie forward Amelia White made NWSL regular season history during a 2-1 loss to Gotham FC on Friday night.
Amelia White, a rookie forward for KC Current, has set an NWSL record for the fastest goal in regular season play. On Friday night, White scored during the first 22 seconds of a 2-1 loss to Gotham FC. Assisted by KC's own Croix Bethune, a 2024 NWSL Midfielder of the Year and Rookie of the Year, White's goal was matched by teammate Michelle Cooper, who scored a goal in 22 seconds against the Washington Spirit in June 2023.
This makes White the holder of the fastest goal record in NWSL history. White has scored twice so far this season, with her first goal coming in a 5-1 victory against Racing Louisville on July 29. Despite White's early goal, Kansas City ultimately lost the match, marking their eighth loss in 17 games this season. Gotham FC's Midge Purce and Sam Kerr scored goals during the game, with Kerr's goal sealing the victory for Gotham.
