The feat comes after Hines led the Pride to a record-breaking season, winning the 2024 NWSL Shield and leading the team to the NWSL championship game.

Marta's stunning solo effort and goal ensured the two best teams -- potentially in NWSL history -- will square off in the championship game next week.

Brazilian soccer legend Marta scored an incredible solo goal to guide the Orlando Pride to their first National Women’s Soccer League championship game.

The Pride will now face the Washington Spirit in Kansas City for chance to cap off a historic season with the team's first NWSL title.
