Alex Morgan All 25 Goals & Assists In 2021/22

Morgan, Morgan calling for it, Alex Morgan with a goal in her return to the Welcome back, Alex Morgan. Moving, but it's individual. Temerack off the steal, takes the shot and Sheridan fooled by that. Passed around, it's picked off here, and then Temerack taking her opportunity. I'd make an argument for her to be under consideration for Rookie of the Year, right? Let's say for Taylor Corneille. Here's Alex Morgan pushing up, looking to thread this pass through to Taylor. Taylor pokes it around the keeper. Rebound from that loss at Chicago. Morgan threading a beautiful pass into the box. Two and a half minutes in, Alex Morgan threading the ball perfectly to Jodi Taylor. Get Hady Lund to put Orlando up on the board early. That's got to feel good after. Taken down, no whistle. We play on. Lavelle. Great cut back, back post, Alex Morgan. A V18 at the top of the box and clips this one in. Post between two backs. It looks like the center back and that far side at fullback and Veka. And serve it back in towards the six. Sullivan. Morgan. Tonight she had to be licking her chops. Poor defending at the back post by Paraguay. They're all magnets to the ball and ultimately two players wide open. You don't want to leave Alex Morgan in this position. Ball lands at her feet. It's a game for even the youngest. Who wouldn't? Smith serves. Morgan. A hat-trick. We use that description of Rose Lavelle, but I think it applies to Smith as well. Now she's got all the time in the world to get her head up and find Alex Morgan. Special night. Rapinoe sliding it through to Morgan. The shot and there's one for Alex Morgan. Hit the ball by Megan Rapinoe outside of the right between the seams where Alex Morgan is going to end up. Not where she is. And Morgan so patient in their timing of this. We have not seen this ball or this run all night long. And what a night to cap it all off. United States, Lynn Williams just ticks that one forward and Morgan pops off the back line, finds that chip. On it in the box is Morgan, the chip. The head out initially, but no ball. Jody Taylor coming through. Alex Morgan takes a nice darting run to that near post, beats Gilles to it and then has the time and space to get herself turned and just loft that one to the back post. McNabb. Taylor trying to hunt it down. Morgan. Play from a dead ball situation. Allie Riley tries to collect that ball in a really precarious situation and Alex Morgan just feeds on that loose touch. Korniak, the spin and the touch. Morgan. To take risk and we saw sauce all over the pitch. That back heel by Korniak on the far side and then Alex Morgan just connects with this west fall cross so crisply. Sends it back across. Played that goal kick short, lined up, losing it through midfield. Korniak floats one into the box for Morgan. Morgan with a goal. She needs to get into pockets of space like this, whether it's behind that midfield line or popping off in front. She's got the service and this is that one thing that people don't know about Korniak. Yes, again, she's good on set pieces and she's great with the ball. Really how San Diego can try and find her feet. Early ball in for Morgan. It's blocked down. Morgan. Brady scores. To a goal for Brady. Brady, a great ball in from turnboat to Morgan who puts two balls inside the box. Brady's right on top of the six in the perfect spot where Bixby's still on the ground, not ready to make that. Ready on her line. Morgan looks like she'll take it with her left. She does and she scores. 1-1. And the second ever signing for the franchise. It's Alex Morgan from the spot and she makes no mistake. Round two, Morgan and Harris. The lefty strike two times. Korniak, low. Now Morgan onto her left. But Zerboni takes too much time to get that ball. Inside the box, ready to clear it. Zerboni just has to be a little bit faster to get that out of her own 18. Giveaway here. It's Morgan once more. A calm finish. Fantastic ball in behind. Dias Gasco doesn't read that pass well, and Morgan finishes that run. She's in the right spot and finishes it. Alex Morgan ready to take it. The left foot pings it. It's low. It's in. Morgan composed at the spot, drives it low, and after scoring four times last week, she drives in her first to this one and gives San Diego the lead. It's on here for Alex Morgan in behind, and she scored. Another for Alex Morgan. Starts with Korniak. Again, Kurtz tried to push her wide. It was too late. Again, that's that left foot. Morgan against Franch. Morgan on the approach. She shoots and she scores. Easy and 80, Franch. They're making an attempt to go one way or the other. Be a real surprise, too, considering the fact that San Diego coming into tonight's affair was top mark. Jacobson passed over the left side. Alex Morgan, a tap in. She beat Loera, and the chip went off of ball. A slight misplay by Weinbrenner. Morgan. Again, a long ball, springing Morgan forward. She's in on that left footed shot low, and it stretches the strings. Off of a Kaelin Sheridan goal kick. Morgan latching onto it. She'd already been dangerous. Tullis Joyce guesses the wrong way. And Alex Morgan, so technical from that distance. She was a pest, but couldn't do anything. Korniak. Morgan pops free. Alex Morgan, goal number 10. That's on the rookie, Taryn Torres. Korniak picks her pocket, and then Alex Morgan, always just looking to run off that back shoulder of the center back. Makes the diagonal run in. Exactly. We've certainly seen fair share of that already. Jacobson, so active, and another goal. Alex Morgan strikes again. Ball laid into space. Allows Jacobson to run onto it and have a look, have time to pick out Alex Morgan, who does the exact right thing and makes that near post run. Taps it forward. Morgan back to Doniak. Well, Doniak lays that into space. Dorsey falls down, and that means that reverse pass back into her path is wide open. Unselfish play from Alex Morgan and really good, really good awareness to know that this run is coming from Doniak who doesn't give up on it. It's 20-20. Here is Pugh. And a flick on. It's back in the score. There isn't a margin for error. She's passed the near post. Incredibly difficult finish for her, but Larco has to cover that near post. O'Hara sends it back in. She has Morgan again. Alex Morgan. From a deeper area, Kelly O'Hara knows she has no pressure on her and then just finds that there's three targets sitting at the back post, United States. Alex Morgan, you can see her in the middle of your screen, just floats between. Alex Morgan steps up with the left foot. Wrong foot, Sheridan, and that's the goal in the 78th minute, her third goal. Alex Morgan, and she just slots it home. Beautifully taken. Took that deep breath right before she struck it. In step, across the face, a goal. Sheridan had no chance. Ali still disrupting. Korniak. Morgan rips a shot. 50 goals for Alex Morgan in her NWSL career, and we're level. But this ball gets played in. Korniak, the first one, continuing to seek it out. Ali, Korniak again. And look, it falls right here, just not able to clear it. But that is a great finish from Alex Morgan, and well-deserved from this effort from their offensive unit. Lobbed in. Brady stomps it down. Morgan gives it back. McNabb fires and scores. Into the attack once she played the ball. McNabb just holding and staying outside, noticing that Rodriguez is stepping in, and then that shot had to be one touch. Watch as McNabb feels the pressure from Rodriguez, hits it up her 90, and it's a fantastic finish by McNabb. Sat back a little bit and allowed Portland to come to them as of late. This one leaks through. Morgan doubles the lead. It takes one miscue. Korniak with just the flick. She knows that she doesn't have to put too much on it because that kick from Sheridan is so strong, and Morgan, once you get her 1v1.
