<p>Temwa Chawinga Kansas City Current turned in another influential performance for KC Current, finding the net in the 52nd minute to seal a 1-0,  top-of-the-table win over Orlando - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/orlando-pride-s-marta-barbra-banda-kansas-city-current-s-temwa-chawinga-and-the-top-10-players-to-watch-this-nwsl-season/blt733c211a4f5cbcc8" target="_blank">and became the fastest NWSL player to score 25 career goals in the process</a>. </p><p>The Malawian needed just 34 games to hit the mark. She now has five goals and one assist in nine appearances for the Current this season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Chawinga continued her excellent form from last season, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/kc-current-forward-temwa-chawinga-wins-nwsl-mvp-after-record-breaking-season/blt054f997bd6100816" target="_blank">when she was named NWSL MVP in a golden-boot winning campaign</a>. The Current, meanwhile, are top of the NWSL, having won seven out of their first nine games.</p><p>There might be room for concern, though, with the Malawian exiting Friday's game early due to an unspecified leg injury, which manager Vlatko Andonovski said she has been dealing with throughout the season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Current coach backed Chawinga to continue finding the net , saying after the match, "Happy for her, but also, I don't think Temwa's going to stop here. She's got a lot more to offer."</p>

WHAT VLATKO ANDONOVSKI SAID

<p>The forward figures to be in the picture as Kansas City take on Chicago next weekend. Andovoski's side have a four-point cushion atop the NWSL.</p>
