SAN DIEGO - San Diego Wave FC (10-8-7, 37 points) fell 2-1 to Kansas City Current at CPKC Stadium in the final regular season match of 2025 on Sunday afternoon.

San Diego started strong, opening the scoring in the eighth minute through forward Dudinha, who netted her fifth goal in as many games against the 2025 NWSL Shield winners. The play began with Dudinha cutting through the defense and laying the ball off to Perle Morroni, who slipped a pass back into her path. The Brazilian took a first-time shot that slipped through the legs of Kansas City goalkeeper Lorena to give the Wave the early 1-0 lead.

The Wave held onto the advantage until the 54th minute when the Current earned a free kick at the edge of the box. Kansas City's Debinha stepped up and delivered a curling strike into the back of the net to level the match.

Kansas City would find the go-ahead goal in the 75th minute when Haley Hopkins delivered a perfectly placed ball over the top that found Nichelle Prince who struck it first-time.

Next Match: San Diego will find out its Quarterfinal opponent following Sunday's Decision Day as the league's remaining 12 teams kick off simultaneously at 2 p.m. PT / 5 p.m. ET today.
