They've done it again. NJ/NY Gotham FC has won their second NWSL Championship in three years, both times coming as the bottom seed in the playoffs. And they managed to win the same way they did in the previous two, with a strong defensive performance and an individual moment of brilliance. This led to a 1-0 win over the Washington Spirit.
In addition to having to win two games on the road, the opponents on their road to the win are impressive. First, they defeated the record-breaking Kansas City Current at the fortress that is CPKC Stadium.
