On Wednesday, the NWSL featured two thrilling games that kept fans on the edge of their seats. In the first game, Gotham FC continued their impressive winning streak with a late victory over San Diego. The winning goal came in the 98th minute, scored by Maycee Bell. This win kept Gotham in the running for first place in the league standings.
In Los Angeles, Sydney Leroux scored a memorable late goal for Angel City to secure three points against Racing Louisville. Leroux’s goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time was a standout moment of the night.
The standout player of the evening was a young star who showcased the talent of emerging players in the NWSL. Gotham’s fifth consecutive win has brought them within two points of KC Current, the current league leaders. However, San Diego’s recent struggles have left them outside of the top eight in the standings.
Angel City’s victory against Racing Louisville has propelled them to the same number of points as their opponents, but they remain just outside of playoff positions. Looking ahead, NWSL action will resume this weekend with a fixture between second-place Orlando and bottom-ranked Utah on Friday night.
