NJ/NY Gotham FC knew what was at stake for them entering the match against Angel City FC. A win would mean that the team would climb the table, while a loss would see them fall below the playoff line. The game had to end with all three points. Fortunately, the ladies had a fantastic second half to lead them to a 3-1 win.
Meanwhile, Head Coach Juan Carlos Amorós was suspended and was in the stands. At first, it felt like he would have to watch another disappointing performance from his team. Angel City’s Kennedy Fuller scored just two minutes into the fixture.
