“Knew What She Was Doing” – Hours After Beating Angel City in NWSL, ‘So Bad’ Alex Morgan Slammed for Pre-Goal Collision

The new season of the NWSL has already begun, as it kicked off in style. So far, there have been some amazing results as all the teams push for glory. Among the contenders are the San Diego Waves, led by USWNT star Alex Morgan. They are quite focused this year on achieving significant success.

In fact, they recently rallied for an emphatic win against Angel City. Casey Stone’s side clinched a hard-fought 2-0 victory against Serena Williams’ franchise. However, just hours after enduring the loss, Angel City’s defender pointed fingers at Waves skipper Morgan.

Alex Morgan slammed for a pre-goal collision

It was a bitter loss for the ACFC, who endured a poor loss against the away side. However, just after the match ended, the home side’s defender, Paige Nielsen, called out Wave’s striker Morgan for allegedly being involved in a pre-goal collision. After Sunday’s match, Nielsen went on Twitter to call out Morgan for a collision between the two players.

She was not satisfied with the incident, as no foul was called on the play by the referee. She wrote, “Alex Morgan knew what she was doing… so bad…” Nielsen wasn’t shy enough to hold herself back from slamming the USWNT star. However, the tweet has been deleted by the defender.

The collision came just before they conceded the first goal of the game as Sofia Jakobsson broke the deadlock in the 70th minute. Just after five minutes, Makenzy Doniak scored the second goal and sealed the win for San Diego, thanks to an assist from Morgan.

Nothing has been said after that; nevertheless, it was an important win for the Waves, who continue pushing themselves for the title.

Waves’ NWSL surge continues

It was indeed a much-needed win for the Waves. Following this win, Morgan’s side is currently sitting behind OL Reign in third place. They share equal points with Megan Rapinoe’s side and Lynn Williams’ Gotham FC. The top spot in the league is currently held by the Portland Thorns.

Waves could have taken the top spot; however, they lost the previous encounter against OL Reign. Nevertheless, yesterday’s win proves that they are eager to push for the top spot. Now they will be looking to clinch a victory in their next fixture against Orlando Pride. Either way, what are your thoughts on Nielsen’s claims? Let us know in the comments.
