The NWSL provided an exciting midweek treat for fans on Wednesday, with two games offering plenty of drama to discuss. In one game, Gotham FC continued their win streak with a thrilling late victory against San Diego, thanks to a 98th-minute goal from Maycee Bell. This win kept Gotham in contention for first place in the league.
In another game, Sydney Leroux scored a late goal for Angel City to secure a victory over Racing Louisville. Leroux’s game-winning goal in the eighth minute of stoppage time was a standout moment of the night. The player of the night was a young star making a name for themselves in the NWSL, highlighting the talent and potential in the league.
Gotham’s win has propelled them to within two points of league leaders KC Current, while San Diego continues to struggle outside the top-eight after a winless streak of five games. Angel City’s victory has brought them level with their opponents on the night, although they remain just outside of the playoff positions. Looking ahead, NWSL action returns this weekend with a match between second-place Orlando and Utah, who are currently at the bottom of the league standings.
