Kansas City NWSL played the North Carolina Courage to a scoreless draw Sunday evening at Legends Field. The game earned the club its third consecutive home match without a loss, and another scarce point in the league standings.

The clean sheet was a marked defensive improvement from the 4-0 away loss suffered to the Courage at the last meeting on Aug. 21 in North Carolina.

Kansas City goalkeeper Adrianna Franch made a diving save on an 18th minute shot from Jessica McDonald that could have changed the outcome. Franch made 5 saves in the match.

Kansas City’s best opportunity came in the 65th minute, but Hailie Mace’s wide-open shot cleared the crossbar. Kansas City pressed forward consistently throughout, earning 9 corner kicks. The Courage defense successfully parried the 21 crosses that formed a large part of the KC attack.

Kansas City will have a three-week break and will resume play with an away game against the Washington Spirit on Sept. 26. KC’s next home match will be at 7 p.m. Oct. 2  against the Houston Dash.
