Mariana Leon

Standing at an imposing 190cm, this assertive Ecuadorian powerhouse dominates her penalty area with lightning-fast reflexes and acrobatic dives. Her fierce drive is forged from a childhood battle with a severe fear of the dark, a shadow she overcame by literally staring down every nighttime threat on the pitch. While her occasional over-aggression when rushing out can leave fans breathless, her unmatched ability to suffocate attacks makes her a true guardian of the net.
