Thompson Sisters Make NWSL History for Angel City

Angel City FC's Gisele Thompson scored her first professional NWSL goal, assisted by her older sister Alyssa Thompson, achieving the league's first-ever sister-to-sister goal in a 4-3 victory over the Washington Spirit. The milestone occurred in the 22nd minute and gave Angel City a 2-0 lead. Riley Tiernan played a decisive role with two goals, including the game-winner in the 98th minute, while Katie Zelem added another goal for Angel City, assisted by Gisele. The Spirit, with goals from Esme Morgan and Gift Monday, rallied but never led during the match. The Thompson sisters also became only the second pair of sisters to start together for the U.S. women's national team earlier this year. Both have signed contract extensions with Angel City, underscoring their growing impact in U.S. women's soccer.
