On April 25, 2026, in the United States, the San Diego Wave football team faced the expansion side Denver Summit. The match took place on a significant occasion as it marked Denver's first sellout crowd at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. San Diego entered halftime trailing by two goals but executed a stunning comeback in the second half, showcasing their resilience and skill as they netted three goals within a span of 16 minutes. This victory maintained San Diego's position at the top of the National Women's Soccer League standings with an impressive 5-1-0 record. The first goal for San Diego came swiftly after the halftime break, in the 49th minute, when NWSL rookie Lia Godfrey scored her fourth goal of the season. This goal was a result of a well-coordinated give-and-go with her teammate Kimmi Ascanio, displaying the effective teamwork that is crucial in sports. Following this, in the 57th minute, defender Kennedy Wesley, who had recently been participating in a U.S. Women's National Team camp, added to the score with an impressive header from a corner kick. Wesley's performance in this match echoed her recent success, where she had also scored her first U.S. goal in similar fashion just a week prior. In the 65th minute, what solidified the Wave’s lead was an own goal caused by Dudinha, who delivered a cross that deflected off Denver defender Carson Pickett and into the net. This remarkable three-goal sequence demonstrated San Diego's grit and determination, allowing them to turn the game around. Wesley commented post-match on the team’s ability to overcome adversities, indicating their willingness to fight back after falling behind. Overall, this win extended San Diego's winning streak to five consecutive games, providing a boost in confidence as they prepared for their next match against the second-ranked Portland Thorns. With this latest victory, San Diego has not recorded a loss since their opening match of the season against Houston Dash, which set the tone for their impressive run in the league. As the season progresses, the ongoing performances of both experienced players and rookies will play a significant role in the success of the Wave, making them a strong contender for the NWSL crown in 2026.
