Highlights: Kansas City Falls to Houston Dash 3-1 in Home Opener

It was a family affair in Kansas City last night.

Brittany Matthews, co-owner of KC, was joined by fiancée Patrick Mahomes and 2-month-old daughter Sterling Skye to celebrate the team’s inaugural game under new ownership.

A Dash goal quickly spoiled the KC homecoming in the 25th minute, as Kristie Mewis blasted a rocket off her favorite left foot to put Houston out in front early.
