The NWSL has reached the halfway point and will be the main league of focus for the rest of the summer and fall once the World Cup ends. This week featured a breakout from the Brazilians. Kerolin of North Carolina bagged a hat trick, and Adriana netted a brace in primetime. Other stars like Ashley Sanchez came ready to play with a young Angel City player taking advantage of her opportunities. Let’s take a look at the Top 5 Goals from the NWSL Matchday 11.

Ashley Sanchez was wreaking havoc against Angel City. Her first shot off the crossbar led to Ashley Hatch’s goal, and her second shot ended up finding the back of the net with ease.
Paige Metayer put in a long, searching ball, and while it overshot Trinity Rodman, Sanchez made the most of it. Her ability to take the pace off the ball with her header but have enough to loop over Didi Haracic’s hand is incredible.
There was no angle for Sanchez to head the ball down, which led her to dink it over and give the Spirit a 2-0 lead. When Ashley Sanchez is on, she’s a hard player to contend with.
