Wins is the first tiebreaker and they can't catch SKC.

Atlanta play DC United. SKC are ahead of both. If they tie, DC are behind. If Atlanta win, DC are behind. If DC win, Atlanta are behind.

To give some apples-to-apples comparisons:

- 2.6 points per game, the most ever
- 83% win percentage, the biggest ever
- Lorena has a 64% shutout percentage, the biggest ever

These aren't records being padded by the extra games. They are staggeringly real.

#SportingKC cannot win the Wooden Spoon with this result.

The only MLS original team to never finish dead last.

They backed into this result, but it literally could have been worse.

Gabby Robinson said she's "off parole" since getting a red card in her first game back and getting quite a few starts since then. #KCBaby #NWSL

Sperry: I know you go against Temwa in practice.

Gabby Robinson: "Yeah, it's horrible." #KCBaby #NWSL

The KC Current win 2-0!

At 62 points, it's the most points in a single #NWSL season ever. Their 20th win also extends that record. #KCBaby

Feist on for Sentnor. That's a 6th sub for KC, so I assume Esther was a concussion sub, giving the KC Current an extra one too. #KCBaby #NWSL

Lorena and Sonnett come together in the box. Sonnett calling the ref over, but it looks like Lorena gets at least some of the ball.

Immediately after Sonnett is in the book for her challenge on Temwa. Probably frustration. #KCBaby #NWSL

Hailie Mace and Temwa Chawinga getting personalized halftime warmups. I imagine we'll be seeing them in the 2nd half. Probably right away based on their warmups. #KCBaby #NWSL

Howell gets what should be her 2nd yellow, but is the game's first. Pretty violent. #KCBaby #NWSL

Cooper has suffered four fouls in the last 5-6 minutes. The ref waived for no more. Next foul against Cooper by ANY Gotham player, should be a yellow. #KCBaby #NWSL

Textbook definition of a yellow for me. Howell is beat and grabs Hutton who is making her look silly with that turn.

Common foul given. #KCBaby #NWSL

After getting pushed, pulled, shoved and grabbed for the opening 16 minutes, the ref doesn't find his whistle until he accidently ended a counterattack instead of playing advantage.

What a terrible time to remember he has a whistle. #KCBaby #NWSL

Debinha lined up at LW with Temwa on the bench. Sentnor takes the attacking midfielder spot. I'm not sure I've seen Ally play anywhere else for this team yet. #KCBaby #NWSL

The lineup rotates again, but this is getting closer to the preferred XI.

Sharples and Chawinga return from injury to make the bench. #KCBaby #NWSL
