The award is named after Brazilian forward Marta and celebrates the most spectacular goals of the qualifying period from 11 August 2024 to 2 August 2025.
Receiving a pass from Maddie Phillips in the middle of the box, Cheatley kept the ball up with her right foot, the ball looping her direct opponent, setting it up perfectly for the striker to smash it into the back of the net with a bicycle kick.
Asked about her effort while speaking after the game, Cheatley was still in shock at what she had done.
“That is the best goal I have ever scored in my life. I don’t think I’m quite over it, I haven’t let it sink in yet,” she said.
