Wales Women’s international Jess Fishlock nets 30-yard wonder goal for Seattle in the opening minute
WALES star Jess Fishlock fired in a stunning goal from 30-yards out for Seattle Reign against Portland Thorns.
The 30-year-old dispossessed the opposition before instantly striking the ball in the top corner, leaving the keeper with no chance after just 58 seconds.
The experienced midfielder arrived in America in 2013 and has had loan spells at Glasgow, Frankfurt and two separate stints in Melbourne.
Fishlock has made over 100 appearances for Wales, after starting her playing career at Cardiff City.
She has also been player-coach at Cardiff, player-assistant manager and player-manager at Melbourne City.
