Manchester City Women Win First League Match

Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw scored her first goal of the season in the 44th minute, leading Manchester City Women to a 1-0 victory over Brighton in their opening match of the 2024/25 Women's Super League. Despite dominating the match, City struggled to extend their lead and faced a scare when Shaw went down injured late in the game. Shaw's goal came from a well-timed run and a precise cross from Kirstin Casparij. This win follows City’s impressive performance in the Champions League, where they secured an 8-0 aggregate victory over Paris FC to qualify for the group stages. Coach Gareth Taylor expressed confidence in the team's ambitions after their return to European competition. The extent of Shaw's injury remains uncertain, raising concerns for City's future matches.
