Today, Lizbeth Jacqueline “The Magician” Ovalle made her much-anticipated debut for the Orlando Pride. She is widely-regarded as one of the top players in the world.
Ovalle’s transfer to the NWSL set records for women’s football. The $1.5 million transfer fee was the highest ever until PSG’s Grace Geyoro move to Michele Kang’s London City Lionesses for $1.9 million last week before the WSL transfer deadline.
She came on at the start of the second half for Simone Charley.
Although Orlando would end up
dropping the result 2-5 to Chicago in an action-packed second half that saw a whopping seven goals, the superstar’s addition will eventually pay dividends down the stretch for an attack without Barbra Banda.
