The National Women’s Soccer League is officially adding two names to her registration books.
Gisele Thompson by Angel City, assisted by his older sister Alyssa, scored the first professional goal on Friday night at Audi Field in Washington, DC Alyssa sent a cross from the left side to Gisele, who found the background of the network. With the objective, the couple became the first sisters to combine for a goal in the history of NWSL.
The goal came in the 22nd minute and gave Angel City a 2-0 advantage in what became a 4-3 victory over the spirit of Washington. Gisele also represented an assistance in the 72nd minute for Katie Zelem, who cools a 3-2 advantage before the winner of the Riley Tiernan game in the 98 minute.
“I am so happy to have obtained the victory and goal from Sister to Sister,” Gisele said after the game. “We have always dreamed of this, especially in this high [level] Or football.
“Doing doing together is incredible, and getting my first goal was so incredible.”
This was the time when the two manifested in the legs when they signed contract extensions with Angel City in January. Alyssa, 20, who was the young World Cup Women’s Cup team 2023 of the US National Team., Used an extension of three years that will keep it with the team until 2028. Gisele, 19, signed a two -year agreement.
Alyssa was the first general selection in Draft NWSL 2023 with Harvard-Westlake High School in Los Angeles. Oryssa, Native to Los Angeles, developed her skills playing for the U-17 soccer football children’s team at the MLS below and scored in her debut in Angel City.
Gisele followed Angel City last year. It also developed with the Total Football Academy before signing a professional contract only three days before their 17th birthday. The sisters were the first high school athletes to win Nike name, image and likeness.
After playing in the World Cup, Alyssa was out of the smallest list of the United States for the Olympic Games in Paris last year. He returned to the national team last fall, scoring his first goal in a 3-1 victory over Iceland in Texas. She has played in 13 games with the national team.
Before Friday, the NWSL never had a sister’s goal. Samantha and Kristie Mewis played at the NWSL but never in the same team. Tori and Maddie Huster played for the spiritual letter in 2018 but never combined for a goal.
In addition, this marks the second great achievement for the Thompson sisters this year. In February, the duo became the second pair of sisters to start a game of the National Women’s Team of the United States together, joining the Mewis sisters, which have appeared in three USWNT games together in their races.
