Week 7 of the NWSL delivered another thrilling slate of matches, packed with jaw-dropping goals, emotional moments, and fierce rivalries. Here are the top 10 moments that had fans on the edge of their seats.

1. Barbra Banda's Eighth Goal in Eight Matches—Plus a Special Surprise
The North Carolina Courage nearly pulled off a draw against the Orlando Pride, thanks to some clutch saves from Canadian goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan. But Barbra Banda proved unstoppable yet again, scoring her eighth goal in as many matches. In a heartwarming post-match interview, Banda was surprised with a video message from her mom, celebrating Mother's Day weekend in unforgettable fashion.

2. & 3. SoCal Rivalry Heats Up in the Second Half
San Diego Wave and Angel City FC both entered their first meeting of the season looking to bounce back from consecutive losses. Angel City forced the Wave out of their comfort zone early, but the tide turned in the 49th minute. Wave forward Dudinha—a potential NWSL MVP candidate—showcased dazzling footwork, dropping Ary Borges and cutting past Emily Sams before firing a shot that deflected off Sarah Gorden into the net.

Angel City answered back quickly in the 54th minute, as Gorden sent a pinpoint cross to Sams, who headed home the equalizer. But the Wave had the last word, with Dudinha delivering a perfect cross to Mimi Van Zanten, who scored her first NWSL goal to seal a 2-1 victory.

4. Temwa Chawinga's Hat Trick Powers KC Current Past Chicago
When Temwa Chawinga is in form, the Kansas City Current are a force to be reckoned with. She delivered a stunning hat trick in a 3-0 win over the Chicago Red Stars, reminding everyone why she's one of the league's most dangerous attackers. While the rest of the KC offense could have done more, a healthy and firing Chawinga is a nightmare for any defense—and could be the key to pushing the Current back up the standings.
