00:00Orlando, the one that we thought that would be an unbeatable team, finally match their own.

00:06Talk to me.

00:07What was the exciting part of this weekend in National Women's Soccer League?

00:11I mean, there was honestly a lot of exciting parts about Weeks 5 match day.

00:15We saw some upsets.

00:17Again, like you said, Orlando pride.

00:19I honestly don't think, however, that this came as a shock.

00:22I mean, Washington Spear is an incredibly strong team in this league,

00:26and it wasn't going to be an easy win for any of those two teams, honestly.

00:30What do you think made the difference?

00:32Why do you think Washington had the edge on this game?

00:35I think Washington, they had something to prove.

00:38You know, they want to show that they, too, are a top dog.

00:41And yes, Orlando pride had that winning streak, not anymore,

00:44but they wanted to show up, show, remind everybody who they are in this league, I think.

00:49So how does this change the standings right now?

00:51I know that now there's some movement.

00:54Orlando is still in the top spots, but talk to me.

00:57How is it looking?

00:59I mean, we have the Kansas City currents at number one right now.

01:02They are still on their winning streak.

01:04They've won five games in a row.

01:07They're going into Week 6.

01:08I think everybody's wondering, how long can they keep this up for?

01:11Right below, we have Orlando pride.

01:13And just below them, we have Washington Spirit.

01:16I really think Washington Spirit is trying hard to get over to that number two spot right now.

01:22Another thing that we were looking closely, and I know you're a fan, ACFC.

01:27I know that it's hanging in five, fifth, sixth spot this week.

01:30They have a game on hand.

01:32What's happening?

01:33They had a pretty bad week this weekend.

01:36Yeah, ACFC unfortunately dropped a little bit.

01:39They're in sixth place right now.

01:40And we suffered a severe loss this weekend.

01:43We lost 4-0 at home versus Gotham.

01:46And it was a disappointing performance.

01:49I mean, this didn't look like the team I've been following this season so far.

01:53They look just disorganized, especially defensively.

01:57And I mean, that's why they got four goals scored on them, unfortunately.

02:01I mean, we do have to accept that Gotham NYC is one of the top teams of the league as well.

02:06And this is a rivalry that has been growing year after year.

02:10The East versus the West.

02:12A lot of hype around the game.

02:13And ACFC couldn't deliver at home.

02:15Now, who is the top scorer as of now in the tournament, Camila?

02:21As of right now, Esther Gonzalez is the league goal scorer.

02:24She's a Spanish forward with five goals so far this season.

02:28She plays on Gotham and she's been playing extremely well.

02:31Unfortunately, Gotham did, however, face a similar fate.

02:35They actually ended up losing this Tuesday against the Portland Thorns 4-1.

02:41So, yeah, it wasn't the best performance from them.

02:43But Esther individually has been playing incredibly well.
