The NWSL’s decision to move the Challenge Cup during the regular season is proving to be a great one. More NWSL action means it’s in the news more and will only bring more people to it to watch some of the incredible matches we’ve seen so far. Both competitions have some amazing goals from a mix of young players on the rise and reliable veterans who scored some bangers. Let’s get into the best women’s soccer goals of the week from the NWSL Matchday 12 and NWSL Challenge Cup Round 3.

Angel City might have turned their season around after picking up a huge win in the derby over San Diego. A new manager means a fresh start, and Angel City took full advantage.
M.A. Vignola makes the list for the second week in a row. She’s proving to be a threat for defenses to worry about going forward from her spot at left back. Vignola kept her composure on a tough angle and managed to power the ball past Kailen Sheridan on the near post—the game-winner in the 88th minute in a game that Angel City needed to win badly.
4. Vanessa DiBernardo – Kansas City Current
