The National Women's Soccer League acknowledged Friday that last weekend's match should have ended after a player collapsed on the field.

Play resumed on May 9 after about 10 minutes of medical attention for Angel City FC defender Savy King, who fell to the ground in the 74th minute and was taken away on a cart following life-saving measures.

NWSL Angel City game: It should've ended

Former U.S. women’s national team forward, Sydney Leroux, scored what is undoubtedly a strong contender for best goal of the NWSL season.

In the 56th minute and with Angel City FC trailing 1-0 against Utah Royals FC at home on Sunday, a series of rebounds at the edge of the 18-yard box, received by Leroux with her back turned on goal, ended in what of the most aesthetically-pleasing finishes you’ll see this year.

New Zealand captain Ali Riley has revealed her soccer career may be over due to the nerve injury that ruled her out of the Paris Olympics.

The 36-year-old defender was withdrawn from selection on the eve of the Football Ferns' opening match against Canada at the Games.

"Even now, when I don't know if I'll ever be able to play soccer again, that's the reality of the injury I have now," Riley told a Q&A session at an event promoting girls in sport in Los Angeles.

Thursday night was special for Angel City FC as they welcomed back United States women’s national team icon Christen Press for the first time in two years.

An ACL injury and four surgeries have kept Press off the field since the knee injury she sustained during a game in June 2022. 

Press’ cameo on Thursday was brief as she came on in the 88th minute, but it didn’t take anything away from the emotional and amazing return of a USWNT great.

Angel City FC signed 18-year-old defender Gisele Thompson through the 2025 NWSL season.

The deal announced Thursday includes an option for 2026 for the Los Angeles native, who becomes the youngest player ever to sign with the club.

Thompson is currently a senior at Harvard-Westlake School in Studio City, Calif. She is the younger sister of Angel City's 2023 No. 1 overall draft pick, Alyssa Thompson.

Angel City forward Sydney Leroux was in tears Monday night after an emotional return to the field. Leroux had been sidelined for the past 11 months and scored in her first game back during Angel City’s 2-1 defeat to the Chicago Red Stars.

Leroux joined Angel City from the Orlando Pride last June and was only able to make three appearances for the Los Angeles club before a season-ending ankle injury that required surgery.

We're witnessing greatness.

Days after being named the March/April NWSL Rookie of the Month, 18-year-old Alyssa Thompson scored another outrageous goal during Angel City's 3-2 win over the Kansas City Current on Sunday night.

The No. 1 overall pick now has three goals in seven appearances, and each has been a showcase of her otherworldly talent.
