“All These Celebrations for Only One Goal” – Megan Rapinoe Celebrates Big OL Reign Win Over Mallory Swanson-Less Red Stars in the NWSL

NWSL has started to get interesting. Matchday Four saw some exciting games. One of those games was played between OL Reign and Chicago Red Stars. Stars were playing without Mallory Swanson, who recently suffered a horrific injury during the friendly against Ireland. On the other hand, Reign saw their superstar Megan Rapinoe score in her second game on her return from injury.

The celebration of the USWNT superstar was the talking point of the game. OL Reign beat Chicago Red Stars in a convincing fashion by 5-2. The victory took the team to second place on the table. Rapinoe was involved in two unique celebrations for the game, and one got her a yellow card. 

Megan Rapinoe celebrated wildly after scoring a goal

Megan Rapinoe is a name synonymous with unique celebrations. Who can forget her special celebration from the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019? It became a trademark of the American superstar, running to the corner flag, stretching her arms, and striking a pose. The celebration will always be associated with Rapinoe. However, in the recent thumping victory over Chicago Red Stars, Rapinoe displayed another way of celebration.

Rapinoe came on as a second-half substitute. She scored from a free kick in the 73rd minute, provoking wild celebrations from the superstar. Reign forward started dancing after scoring the fourth goal of the team. One of the fans posted the reel on Instagram. Rapinoe shared it on her story, captioning it, “Who has all these celebrations for only one goal.”

Meanwhile, Rapinoe also got a yellow card for getting involved with her teammate’s DJ celebration. Bethany Balcer scored her second goal of the game in the 20th minute. Rapinoe entered the field to give her headphones for the DJ celebrations. The referee booked USWNT forward for entering the pitch.

Alex Morgan praises Rapinoe for her celebrations

Recently, Alex Morgan was on the Snacks podcast with Lynn Williams and Sam Mewis. While speaking of her iconic tea sip celebrations during the 2019 World Cup, Morgan praised her teammate Rapinoe for her unique celebrations. Morgan said, “Pino always has the best celebrations, and everyone else is just like yeah.”

Morgan and Rapinoe will go into this year’s World Cup with the intent to win it. With Mallory Swanson injured, most of the goal-scoring responsibilities will be on two veterans of the US Soccer. Let us know your thoughts on the Megan Rapinoe celebrations during the NWSL game.
