Angel City FC took on Club América last week in a preseason friendly and came out on top 3-0. Alyssa Thompson scored her first goal in fantastic fashion in only the fifth minute of the match.
Her speed is going to be an invaluable asset to this team. We’ll be looking forward to more bright moments from Thompson.
