Sun Apr 13 01:20:00 UTC 2025: ## San Diego Wave Face Tough Test Against League Leaders Kansas City Current

**San Diego, CA** – The San Diego Wave, fresh off a mixed start to their NWSL season, face a formidable challenge this Saturday at 7 p.m. PT. They will host the Kansas City Current, a team currently vying for the top spot in the league.

The Wave, who are unbeaten at home this season, mirroring the success of fellow San Diego teams like the Padres and San Diego FC, enter the match with a 1-1-1 record. Their campaign has included a thrilling 3-2 victory over Utah Royals, a narrow 2-1 loss to Orlando Pride, and an opening day draw against Angel City. Despite the departures of key players like Alex Morgan, the Wave have shown promise, consistently controlling possession and scoring early goals under new coach Jonas Eidevall. Eidevall’s high-pressure, possession-based style is evident, with the team yet to trail at halftime in any game.

However, their record against the Current is less encouraging, with their last victory dating back to June 2022. The Current, led by former USWNT coach Vlatko Andonovski, are a force to be reckoned with, boasting an impressive 2-1-0 record, eight goals scored, and only one goal conceded. Their dominance is highlighted by a league-leading five players named to the March NWSL Best XI. The Current’s prolific striker Temwa Chawinga, who has scored in every game so far this season, will be a particular threat.

The Wave will look to new signing Gia Corley, a March NWSL Best XI selection herself, to provide a spark in the attack. Corley’s goal-scoring ability and playmaking skills have already made a significant impact. A win for the Wave could propel them into a top-four spot and bragging rights over California rivals Angel City. But overcoming the Current, a team determined to maintain their top position, will require a significant effort. The match promises to be a captivating encounter between two contrasting styles of play.
