Welcome back to Fast Friends with Kelley O'Hara and Lisa Leslie!

Fast Friends brought the party to Kansas City on Thursday, as co-hosts Lisa Leslie and Kelley O'Hara, plus a roster of superstar guests, kicked off the 2024 NWSL Championship Weekend​ in style.

Retirement, goal cellies, NWSL title predictions, and more dominated conversation as league heavy-hitters Ali Riley, Merritt Mathias, Lo’eau LaBonta, and Kate del Fava — plus reps from each of the two championship contenders, Orlando's Carson Pickett and Washington's Croix Bethune and Ashley Hatch — took to the stage in front of a live audience.

The intrepid hosts also recapped the NWSL semifinals, including a mixup that saw Leslie texting O'Hara at exactly the wrong moment.

"I didn't really understand that they were going to add more time to the clock," Leslie explained, referencing her confusion over Washington's stoppage-time equalizer against O'Hara's Gotham FC.

"I got a text that was like, 'LETS GO!,'" laughed O'Hara. "And I'm like, 'Is she cheering for the Spirit?'"

It took until the dwindling minutes of stoppage time Sunday, but the Kansas City Current advanced to the NWSL semifinals with a 2-1 win over the Houston Dash in the first round of the playoffs.

In front of a record-setting sellout crowd at PNC Stadium in Texas, the Current played spoiler in the Dash’s first playoff game in club history.

While the score remained locked at 1-1 after a pair of early goals as the clock ticked past the 90th minute, Kansas City defender Kate Del Fava played hero in the 10th minute of stoppage time in the second half.

Her first NWSL goal secured the victory and sent the Current to the next round. Coming at the 99:32 mark, the score was the latest non-extra time goal in NWSL history, according to OptaJack.

AD Franch played a part in Kansas City’s success, making several key stops. Among those was a stoppage-time save against Michelle Alozie, which allowed Del Fava’s goal to serve as the decider.

The No. 5 seed Current will next play NWSL Shield winner and No. 1 seed OL Reign on Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. ET on CBS Sports.
