… breaks Kerr’s single-season goal record in NWSL

In a remarkable achievement, Malawi’s Temwa Chawinga has shattered Sam Kerr’s record for most goals in a single National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season, netting an impressive 19 goals.

According to Fabrizio Romano’s X handle, Chawinga, a talented forward for Kansas City Current and the Malawi national team, accomplished this feat in her inaugural NWSL season.

Chawinga’s remarkable journey to breaking the record began after joining Kansas City Current from Swedish club Kvarnsvedens IK and Chinese club Wuhan Jianghan University. Her impressive tally of 19 goals has come from just 24 games, with an average of a goal every 109 minutes. Her impressive statistics also include 103 shots and a shot conversion rate of 18.63%.

While Chawinga now holds the single-season record, Sam Kerr remains the outright record holder for NWSL goals, boasting an impressive 77 goals – 13 more than Lynn Williams, who sits second with 64 goals.

Chawinga’s record-breaking goal proved decisive, securing a 1-0 victory for Kansas City Current over Bay FC. This win propelled the Current to third place in the NWSL standings.

Chawinga’s remarkable feat has sent shockwaves throughout the soccer community, earning praise from fans, coaches, and fellow players alike.

As the NWSL season continues, all eyes will be on Chawinga to see if she can further extend her record-breaking tally and lead Kansas City Current to even greater heights.
