The Spirit needed a late equalizer and penalty kicks to overcome Gotham while Marta’s turn-back-the-clock goal stood up as the game-winner in the Pride win over the Current. The NWSL Championship is next.
It’s playoff time and as expected, the top four teams triumphed and moved onto the semifinals. That doesn’t mean there weren’t some exciting moments to discuss, including several surprising goals from centerbacks, stoppage times wins, heartbreaking own goals, and, of course, VAR drama.
The NWSL playoff field and quarterfinal matchups are set, trouble at Snapdragon Stadium, and the gang reveal their picks for postseason awards and Best XI.
It may be Fall but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy a bit of summer. Michael Minnich takes the helm this week as most of the NWSL goes on break to chat with PJ Green from the Kansas City Star and Gary Gibson from the Soccer Over Gotham pod about the Summer Cup finale that took place on Friday.
The Thorns and Bay FC moved to the brink of the playoffs with only Louisville alive to crash the party, plus Temwa Chawinga makes more history, and was BOS Nation FC the worst product rollout ever?
Christen Press scored her first goal in 28 months on Saturday, a dramatic, emphatic strike that nearly won a game for Angel City. Elsewhere, the four quarterfinal hosts are set and Cloe Lacasse bags a hat trick.
The Orlando Pride clinched the Shield for the club’s first trophy, and remained undefeated. On the other coast, Angel City felt the wrath after being caught violating the league salary cap.
Christine Sinclair announced her retirement last week and NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman hinted at an NWSL with as many as 30 clubs.
This week, Orlando clinches their first-ever home playoff match and Gotham secures a playoff berth as the post-season picture begins to come into focus - at least at the top of the table. Outside of the top four teams, there are still some serious questions.
The Orlando Pride have an unbeaten season in site after a 0-0 draw with the Current. Plus the Spirit join the playoff field and the NWSL General Managers speak.
