Aissata Traore wins NWSL goal of the week
Boston, MA (May 5, 2026) - Boston Legacy forward Aïssata Traoré has won NWSL goal of the week for her stunning half-volley equalizer against the Denver Summit on May 3.
Traoré is currently the Legacy’s team leader in goals (2) and tied for second on assists (1). She also leads the team in shots (16) and is tied with Sammy Smith for shots on goal (5).
