Every week there are goals being scored by the talented assortment of kiwi footballers around the world. Every single week... but rarely does anyone score a goal as spectacular as the one Moses Dyer just scored for Galway United.

Maggie Jenkins was one of the unluckier absentees when the squad for the Chinese Taipei trip was confirmed recently but that only seems to have motivated her because look what she did on the weekend.

Macey Fraser didn’t join the Royals until after their 2024 campaign had already begun due to the overlap with her Wellington Phoenix season, very quickly made a positive impact for struggling team, and then promptly hurt her ankle

Michael Boxall, aged 36, is laying down bars in interviews. There’s no stopping the bloke. It only took him two attempts to waltz into an MLS Team of the Week selection and now he’s done it twice in a row

Empoli Football Club had failed to win any of their previous 11 Serie A matches, dropping into the relegation zone as a consequence, when they lined up for a Coppa Italia clash with heavyweights Juventus

It took a long time for Finn Surman to finally debut for Portland Timbers. He joined them midseason and they allowed him as much room as possible to settle into his surroundings before finally chucking him onto the pitch

Nottingham Forest would have expected to breeze past League One’s Exeter City in their FA Cup fourth round tie. If they’re smart they might have even spoken to new recruit Tyler Bindon beforehand, he could have given them a few tips

The headlines from Empoli’s match against AC Milan would have been very different if Liberato Cacace had seen red for his early stop on Kyle Walker’s shins.

Chris Wood didn’t exactly get the celebration game he would have hoped for after his triumphant contract extension last week… but this week he more than made up for that anomaly

There had been links to AC Milan, there had been links to Saudi Arabia, there had been links to Major League Soccer... but those were all mere bargaining as Chris Wood and his agent haggled over an inevitable new deal with Nottingham Forest

Chris Wood scored 14 goals last season with Nottm Forest and also in 2019-20 with Burnley so this is the third time he’s reached this mark. It’s also the sixth season in which he’s passed double-figures.

Libby Cacace had played 103 league games in Europe prior to this season, split between Belgium and Italy, and from all that he’d mustered zero goals and three assists. Happily, goal contributions have not been a problem for him in the 2024-25 campaign.

Two Sarpreet Singh goals, both stemming from making those good supporting runs into the penalty area. The first was a bit fortunate with the ball ricocheting off his face but hey he was in the right spot at the right time, what can you say?

This was already Tyler Bindon’s favourite time of the year but he probably loves it even more after scoring a bicycle kick winning goal for Reading against Mansfield Town

A couple of weeks ago, CJ Bott and Liberato Cacace were each nominated for the FIFA Best Awards. Cacace followed that honour up by scoring his first goal for Empoli. Then, a few days later, CJ Bott did the same thing for Leicester City

It’s been a long time since Liberato Cacace last scored a goal at club level. He did score an important one for the All Whites in 2022 when he bagged the winner in the Oceania World Cup qualifying tournament semi-final against Tahiti

It has been a slow and steady build for Sarpreet Singh since he joined União de Leiria. They had to make sure he was at 100% fitness before letting him loose, meaning Singh had only got a couple of substitute appearances prior to the last international break

Kate Taylor has always had the ability to score goals. She scored in each of her three seasons with the Wellington Phoenix and already has a couple of goals for the Football Ferns

Ten days after making her club debut at Sampdoria off the bench in a Coppa Italia match, Kiara Bercelli got to add a league debut to her list of milestones. And not only did she get her league debut, she got it as a starter. But wait there’s more…

Maybe, just maybe, something might be changing at Empoli because Libby Cacace got another start this weekend. Two in three games after none in the previous ten Serie A matches
