United States Women’s National Team striker, Alex Morgan, scored four goals in a French Cup semifinal for Olympique Lyonnais.

It was another stellar performance from Morgan as she continues her fantastic run of form for Lyon. The forward scored four goals in the French club’s 10-0 win over Hénin-Beaumont in the French Cup semifinals. Three of her four came in just a span of 10 minutes.

Goal #1

A routine finish in front of goal for her first of the match.

Goal #2

Another routine finish for the national team star in front of goal.

Goal #3

A nice run from Morgan allows her to get in behind the defense as she fires home to score her third of the match.

Goal #4

A clever chip over the goalkeeper gives Morgan her fourth goal.

In addition to her four goals, Morgan had two assists. After just two French Cup appearances. she has scored seven goals.

Lyon’s win on Sunday will setup a French Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain, who are third in the Feminine Division 1. A win in the final would give Lyon their sixth French Cup title in club history.

On Saturday, Morgan and Lyon will be back in action as they face Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League semifinals. Fellow USWNT member, Carli Llyod, will also be featured as she is a member of the English club. The second leg of the semifinal will played the following Saturday.

In June, Morgan is expected to return to the Orlando Pride, as the National Women’s Soccer league kicked off the 2017 season this past weekend. The Florida club fell 2-0 to the Portland Thorns this past Saturday. There is much anticipation for what could be a deadly duo of Marta and Morgan leading the Pride attack in 2017, as both players have the potential to devastate defenses.
