Chinese striker Wang Shuang scored her first goal for Racing Louisville FC, as Kim Bjorkegren's side beat AC Milan in the Women's Cup semifinal on Wednesday in Louisville, U.S. 

Racing Louisville broke the deadlock 13 minutes into the game when Nadia Nadim headed in a free-kick. In the 24th minute, Wang, who was in the starting line-up, smashed home a superb volley to make it 2-0. She was later voted by fans as player of the match.

"Thank you for my friends who were cheering for me on site and online. I will continue to fight!" Wang, 27, wrote on Weibo, China's Twitter-like social media platform.
