Alyssa Thompson can't capitalize on penalty kick in Angel City loss
The victory secured a sixth consecutive win for Kansas City, which remained atop the NWSL standings. The Current (11-2-0) have won all six of their home games. Kansas City hasn't dropped a game at home since a July 2024 loss to Orlando.
With the score tied 0-0, Lorena leapt to her right to parry a spot kick by Angel City forward Alyssa Thompson in the 56th minute. The ball was tipped onto the crossbar before bobbling out for a corner kick.
It was Lorena's first penalty save and Thompson's first failed conversion in the NWSL.
Reigning NWSL MVP Temwa Chawinga broke away on a dribble and had her low shot saved by Angel City goalkeeper Angelina Anderson, only for Zaneratto to scoop up the rebound and the tuck the ball away in the 69th minute.
Zaneratto has five goals, tied for the second-most of any Current player behind Chawinga with eight.
Angel City (5-5-3) is winless in its last five games, and has secured one tie and two losses since Alex Straus took over as coach three weeks ago.

Arsenal sign goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea
Arsenal have signed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea. The 30-year-old Spaniard spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, making 35 appearances in all competitions. Arsenal had brought in Neto from the Cherries as back-up to David Raya, but the Brazilian has returned to the Cherries following the end of his own season-long loan. Kepa, who spent the 2023/24 campaign at Real Madrid, has signed a three-year deal, the PA news agency understands. The fee is reported to be around £5million, with the transfer subject to the completion of regulatory processes. Advertisement 'I'm really, really happy to be here, really excited and looking forward to what is coming,' Kepa told Arsenal's website. 'The ambition that is shown in this club, when I talk with Mikel (Arteta) and (goalkeeping coach) Inaki (Cana), how much they show me their desire to win, I think we are so close to winning and, hopefully, altogether, we can achieve it.' Kepa became the world's most expensive goalkeeper when he joined Chelsea from Athletic Bilbao in a £71m deal during the summer of 2018, going on to win the Europa League and Champions League with the Blues as well as the 2023 UEFA Nations League with Spain. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is confident Kepa will provide plenty of competition for his compatriot Raya. Advertisement 'He is a player we know, having come up against him many times in recent seasons,' Arteta said. 'He brings a wealth of experience, which his team-mates will benefit from, and he has a real hunger to win. 'Kepa works hard and will elevate our levels. I know he will fit in perfectly, already knowing some of his team-mates, and we are really excited about his future with us.' Arsenal also appear to be closing in on deals for Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard and Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi. The Gunners are in need of midfield reinforcements, with Thomas Partey having become a free agent after his contract expired and Jorginho also leaving the club earlier this month to join Brazilian club Flamengo.

How to watch Palmeiras vs Chelsea live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Chelsea and Palmeiras meet in Philadelphia on Friday in a tasty quarterfinal at the FIFA Club World Cup. MORE — Prize money list for Club World Cup Palmeiras have been very impressive with the Brazil giants keeping three clean sheets in their four games so far and they battled to victory against fellow Brazilians Botafogo to reach the quarterfinals. Their star young winger Estevao Willian will be joining Chelsea after the Club World Cup and is able to play against the Blues, so that is a storyline to keep on eye on. Advertisement MORE — Club World Cup schedule, bracket After shock defeats for Inter Milan and Manchester City the bracket has opened up for Enzo Maresca's Chelsea and they are the favorites to reach the final. They dominated Benfica in the last 16, eventually winning 4-1 in extra time after a long weather delay enraged Chelsea's manager and players. Still, they're enjoying their Club World Cup experience so far and will fancy their chances of reaching the semifinal where they will face the winner of Fluminense vs Al Hilal. How to watch Palmeiras vs Chelsea live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 9pm ET Friday (July 4) Venue: Lincoln Financial Field — Philadelphia TV Channel/Streaming: Stream every game live on DAZN, for free Palmeiras team news, focus Gustavo Gomez will be unavailable after being sent off in extra time in the last 16 and losing one of their starting center backs is a blow. Palmeiras are solid and reliable and will be really tough for Chelsea to break down. Palmeiras have won the Brazilian Serie A in 2022 and 2023 and the Copa Libertadores in 2020 and 2021, and they're showing their pedigree as a team who are used to winning trophies. They will not be fazed by this occasion and their fans will once again turn out in huge numbers. Chelsea team news, focus Maresca will be without star central midfielder Moises Caicedo due to suspension and that is a massive loss. Caicedo has been exceptional in this tournament, and for most of the last 18 months, and it will be intriguing to see how Maresca lines the Blues up without the Ecuadorian enforcer. Romeo Lavia and Enzo Fernandez will start in central midfield with Reece James perhaps joining them in midfield and Malo Gusto coming in at right back but tucking inside. Chelsea have looked really good in this tournament and have added extra wrinkles to their hybrid midfield and wing-back system. Liam Delap is likely to start up top once again and the duo of Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto look certain to start just behind him. Palmeiras vs Chelsea prediction This will be tight and tense and could go to extra time, but Chelsea's extra attacking options will be too much for Palmeiras to control. Palmeiras 1-2 Chelsea.
