On Wednesday, NJ/NY Gotham FC had another late start as the team stayed on the West Coast after their weekend win over San Diego Wave FC. This time, the team was back in the CONCACAF W Champions Cup for a match in Canada. Their opponent was the developmental team, Vancouver Rise FC Academy. It was expected to be a clear-cut win, despite some of the first-team players joining the Canadian team.
While it was the expected result, it was a little shocking that Gotham FC only won 4-1. This could have been one of those matches where the Bats piled on the goals, and truthfully, they needed that because of the Washington Spirit’s goal differential.
