A GOAL analisa as principais atuações da Seleção Feminina dos EUA no exterior, desde a lesão de Naomi Girma até a primeira conquista da Copa da Liga de Alyssa Thompson com o Chelsea e Heaps, e a conquista da Copa da França por Yohannes com o Lyon.
O Manchester United ficou aquém das expectativas na final da Copa da Liga Feminina, no domingo, perdendo por 2 a 0 para o Chelsea após um erro catastrófico de Dominique Janssen que deu a Lauren James a oportunidade de marcar o primeiro gol. A equipe de Marc Skinner dominou a partida em Bristol ao longo dos 90 minutos, mas suas esperanças de uma reação foram frustradas pela substituta Aggie Beever-Jones no segundo tempo.
Faltava menos de uma hora para o encerramento da janela de transferências de verão da Superliga Feminina quando a negociação mais surpreendente de todas foi concluída. Jess Park e Grace Clinton tinham sido jogadoras importantes do Manchester City e do Manchester United, respectivamente, durante a temporada anterior. No entanto, na última hora, ambas foram enviadas para lados opostos da cidade, para representar o que tinha sido seu maior e mais acirrado rival.
A Copa Asiática Feminina começou em 1º de março, dando início a um mês que deveria ter duas das principais competições do futebol feminino, com a Copa Africana das Nações marcada para 17 de março. Incrivelmente, esta última foi adiada apenas 12 dias antes do seu início, mas o impacto que a Copa Asiática terá nas competições de clubes ainda será fascinante, já que as equipes do futebol feminino se despedirão de algumas de suas melhores jogadoras por algumas semanas.
A estrela do Arsenal, Alessia Russo, foi confirmada como a jogadora mais bem classificada da Superliga Feminina no jogo EA Sports FC 26, que será lançado em breve.
Assim que Jess Park recebeu a bola na entrada da área do Atlético de Madrid, Marc Skinner percebeu. Ela deu um toque, depois outro para tirar a bola dos pés e se preparar para um chute perfeito com o pé direito, que mandaria a bola por cima da cabeça de todas as defensoras do Atlético, fora do alcance da goleira Lola Gollardo e no ângulo superior, dando ao Manchester United de Skinner uma vantagem inalcançável de 5 a 0 no placar agregado, que garantiu sua vaga nas quartas de final da Liga dos Campeões Feminina pela primeira vez.
