Thompson Sisters Make NWSL History with First Sister-to-Sister Goal

Angel City FC secured a dramatic 4-3 victory over the Washington Spirit, highlighted by a historic moment as sisters Alyssa and Gisele Thompson combined for the first sister-to-sister goal in NWSL history. Gisele scored her first professional goal in the 22nd minute from an assist by Alyssa, giving Angel City a 2-0 lead. The match saw multiple lead changes, with Washington's Esme Morgan scoring twice and Gift Monday also finding the net, but Angel City's Riley Tiernan ultimately sealed the win with her second goal in stoppage time. Katie Zelem added another goal for Angel City, assisted by Gisele. The Thompson sisters' milestone adds to their growing legacy, following their joint appearances for the U.S. women's national team earlier this year. Their achievement was celebrated as a dream come true, reflecting their journey from local development teams to professional and international soccer.
