The best goals of the 2023 Women's World Cup - ranked

It's been a Women's World Cup filled with some absolutely incredible goals.

Screamers, counter-attacks, tekkers, you name it, this 2023 competition has it. The world's best put on an attacking display for the ages.

Somehow, 90min has narrowed it down to just the best 10 at the tournament.

The best goals of the 2023 Women's World Cup - ranked

10. Hinata Miyazawa (JAPAN vs Spain)

Japan's speed and technicality won over so many fans at this World Cup, and they certainly shocked many with their statement 4-0 win over Spain in the group stage.

Ultimately, the result didn't matter in the end. Both teams advanced to the knockouts. Spain got to the final and lifted the trophy, while Japan were eliminated out in the quarter-finals, but it will be hard to forget this goal, a slick counter attack with a clinical finish.

9. Lauren James (ENGLAND vs Denmark)

It's always exciting to see young players announce themselves on the biggest stage at a major international tournament.

There was lots of excitement and anticipation to see Lauren James in action, and she did not dissapoint in the group stage.

England's sole goal against Denmark was a sensational strike, and crowning moment to let everyone know that a generational talent had made her mark.

8. Olga Carmona (SPAIN vs Sweden)

Sweden were caught napping during a late corner in the dying stages of the semi-finas, and it was Spain's Olga Carmona who took advantage, blasting this goal through a forest of Swedish defenders.

And what an important goal it was. 89th minute winner to send your country to their maiden World Cup final.

Talk about big moments.

7. Sophia Braun (ARGENTINA vs South Africa)

If you're going to stage a comeback, at least one of the goals has to be top drawer. Those are the rules, according to Sophia Braun, apparently.

She hit this absolutely beauty against South Africa in the 74th minute as Argentina came back to earn a point against South Africa in the group stage.

6. Katie McCabe (REPUBLIC OF IRELAND v Canada)

Seeing an Olimpico in a football match is pretty rare.

Seeing it in a World Cup match? Now, that's pretty special.

The Republic of Ireland’s first ever goal at this competition came against Canada when Katie McCabe curled a corner straight into the back of the net.

5. Bia Zaneratto (BRAZIL vs Panama)

A lot of the goals on this list are ones that come from indivdual brilliance.

This one though, is one of the best team goals you'll ever see.

Such beautiful build-up play from Brazil before their third goal was scored by Bia Zaneratto. The icing on the cake is the cheeky backheel assist from Ary Borges, who finished the game with a hat-trick along with her assist.

Scintilating stuff!

4. Leicy Santos (COLOMBIA vs England)

Did she mean it?

Who cares!

Leicy Santos' cross/shot against England was reminiscent of Ronaldinho's lob over David Seamen way back when.

Santos is a classic number 10 with all the flair you'd expect of the first Colombian woman to be bought by a European team - with her move to Atletico Madrid being trailblazing in Colombian women's football.

3. Sam Kerr (AUSTRALIA vs England)

It's not really a shock to see Sam Kerr on this list.

She was marketed as the face of this tournament in the build-up due to Australia being co-hosts.

And while her playing time was limited due to a calf injury, she made the most out of the minutes she had.

At 1-0 against England in the semi-finals, Kerr dribbled what felt like half the pitch, putting clubmate Millie Bright on the backfoot. Instead of continuing her run, she opted to fire a high shot from a distance that beat Mary Earps. The goal was the longest of the tournament's knockout stages as well!

2. Linda Caicedo (COLOMBIA vs Germany)

You can watch this goal plenty of times, and it's hard to believe that it was scored by an 18-year-old against Euro finalists Germany.

Linda Caicedo did everything right here. The movement, the technique, the finish. What a goal to make your mark on the biggest stage.

The goal was Colombia's first in their 2-1 win against Germany, and it marked a moment where people started to pay attention to the South American side.

1. Marta Cox (PANAMA vs France)

Panama's first World Cup may have ended with three losses in the groups, but they certainly made it a show in their 6-3 defeat against France.

Marta Cox opened up the scoring with an incredible long-range free-kick blasting right into the top corner just 69 seconds after kick-off.

It's one of those ones where you just watch it over and over and over again.
