Kansas City midfielder Lo’eau LaBonta celebrated his goal in a very original way last night once morest Angel City (1-1). First by mimicking an injury, then by twerking.
An equalization celebrated as it should be. Scorer on penalty at the end of the match once morest Angel City (1-1), who unlocked his counter, Lo’eau LaBonta (Kansas City) expressed his joy in an original way. Feigning a slap on the back of her right thigh, her grimace quickly turned into a broad smile accompanied by a brief twerk in front of her hilarious teammates.
The player evokes a challenge proposed on Twitter
In a post-match press conference, the midfielder returned to the origin of this celebration. “Footballers tend to go towards each other (…) and we like that, she recalls. But I think we really want to start making it a little more fun and doing individual celebrations. We m ‘tweeted this and I said, ‘chick'”.
Thanks to this goal and this tie won, Kansas City climbs to third place in the National Women’s Soccer League, the first division of women’s football in the United States, two points from the first two qualifying ranks for the semi-finals. There are four regular season games left to confirm its place in the final phase.
As a reminder, the twerk was the source of a controversy during the Ballon d’Or ceremony in December 2018 when DJ Martin Solveig asked Ada Hegerberg if she knew how to perform this suggestive dance. After the player’s dry ‘no’, the artist apologized on his social networks, evoking a joke. “I don’t think we’re done with this type of incident, said the Norwegian striker a year later. The situation is better today but we should have learned these lessons a long time ago.”
