KC Current Rookie Forward Amelia White Tied an NWSL Regular Season Record for the Fastest Goal During a 2-1 Loss to Gotham FC on Friday

White scored just 22 seconds into the match, assisted by Croix Bethune, the 2024 NWSL Midfielder of the Year and Rookie of the Year. The goal tied her teammate Michelle Cooper for the fastest in NWSL regular season history; Cooper scored in 22 seconds against the Washington Spirit as a rookie in June 2023. White's goal was her second of the season. The Penn State product scored her first career goal in a 5-1 victory over Racing Louisville on July 29, finding the net at the 20-minute mark.

She is signed to a two-year rookie deal with Kansas City. Despite White's early strike, Kansas City fell to their eighth loss in 17 games this season. Gotham's Midge Purce equalized in the 13th minute, and Sam Kerr scored the game-winner in the 41st minute.

Neither team scored in the second half, leaving the final score at 2-1. The match took place on Friday night, though no specific venue was named in the report. White's record-tying effort came in a losing cause as Gotham FC secured all three points.
