41 seconds—that’s all it took for Lynn Biyendolo to score for the USWNT in Matchday 2 of the SheBelieves Cup against Australia. Straight from the kick-off, not to mention. While it may officially count as her 22nd goal for the American ladies, it holds special significance as her first since changing her last name from Williams to Biyendolo. But even though Lynn sees it as a ‘new chapter’ to score with a new last name, she finds it ‘ironic’ that it happened against her husband’s country.That surely is one ethical conundrum, isn’t it? Well, that’s how things are in life. But Lynn likes to see it from a different perspective. The Seattle Reign forward is pleased to not only get registered on the scoresheet with a new surname but simultaneously help her nation get a crucial goal. “I’m feeling like this is a new chapter for me,” began Biyendolo during the half-time interview with TNT Sports, courtesy of @SportArenYT. “I changed teams in my NWSL career, changed last name, but more importantly, I’m so excited to wear the crest and hopefully help my country,” added the 31-year-old. Though Lynn seemed quite optimistic about her first goal, the same couldn’t be said for her husband, Marley. The former Gotham FC forward appeared somewhat skeptical when asked how Marley, who hails from Australia, felt about her goal. Of course, scoring under the name Biyendolo might sound good to her significant other, but against his home country? Well, not exactly music to his ears, right? “He’s really really excited. He probably doesn’t like it against Australia but ironic.” Lynn Biyendolo half-time interview #USWNT #USAvAUS #Matildas #SheBelievesCup pic.twitter.com/eQEPhbsvvs— Sport Arena (@SportArenYT) February 23, 2025The post Lynn Biyendolo Skeptical About Husband’s Reaction to ‘First Goal’ Against Australia at SheBelieves Cup appeared first on EssentiallySports.
