The Mulan League season concluded with a resounding victory for the Kaohsiung Attackers FC, who triumphed 5-0 in their final home game. This win not only maintained their undefeated home record for the season but also served as a poignant farewell for two club legends, Zeng Wenting and Daiana, who played their last professional match on home soil.

Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, the team welcomed the significant news of Japanese midfielder Misaki Wakabayashi's successful naturalization.

Her integration is seen as a crucial addition, promising to enhance Taiwan's competitive edge in women's football.

The match itself showcased the Attackers' prowess, with goals from Utsu Yumi, Hamamoto Marin (who scored a hat-trick), and Li Wanzhen sealing the decisive win. The team's performance, coupled with Wakabayashi's impending national team debut, underscores a period of growth and optimism for women's football in Taiwan.
