Ji So-yeon shook the net in the 19th round of the NWSL away match against Angel City FC at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on the 7th (Korea time), leading her to her team's three consecutive wins with a thrilling 3-2 victory.
The match between Ji So-yeon's Seattle Lane and Casey Eugene Fair against Angel City drew attention from women's soccer fans with the NSWL 'Korean Leaguer' derby, but it was unfortunately canceled as Eugene Fair was excluded from the list.
Seattle gave up the first goal to Angel City Alicia Thompson in the 7th minute of the first half, but Sophia Uerta scored a penalty in the 30th minute of the first half to balance 1-1. A tight match, the fixer was No. 91 Ji So-yeon. Ji So-yeon took over the ball headed by Jordyn Huitema after Shea Holmes, who drilled the left side of the ball in the extra time of the first half, crossed to the other side. Ji So-yeon, who beat the defense and trapped the ball, shook the net with a right foot shot. He scored his third goal of the season and his second consecutive goal following a free-kick goal against Louisville on the 1st. They finished the first half with a score of 2-1.
Seattle led 3-1 in the 13th minute of the second half with Tiara King's netting. In the extra time of the second half, Sidney Leroux, a former U.S. national university, allowed a comeback goal, but held a one-goal lead to the end, winning 3-2 and securing three valuable points. Ji So-yeon spent 92 minutes on the ground until she was replaced by Ansley McCameron in 2 minutes of extra time in the second half.

In the dark age of Korean women's soccer in 2024, with no Olympics and no A-match, Ji So-yeon is struggling at the center of the United States.
