With tonight's tie, Gotham fall to 5th in the table

Tonight’s Gotham FC match featuring appearances by USWNT coach Emma Hayes and NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani was a lower-bowl sellout of 11,308, the fourth-largest regular-season attendance in club history.

This is an entirely new Boston compared to two months ago at the start of the season. The team's physicality has improved significantly, and they're looking a lot more cohesive on the field

👋 @uswnt.ussoccer.com Head Coach Emma Hayes in the house!

Underdogs, my ass: Here's @meghaggupta.bsky.social with 4 thoughts about #GothamFC's fully-deserved if unexpected run to the 2025 #NWSL title

GOTHAM FC WIN 2025 NWSL CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆 A Rose Lavelle goal made the difference — with this she wins her first NWSL title

GOTHAM FC ARE YOUR 2025 NWSL CHAMPIONS

Tough scenes on the pitch here; Rodman looks down and out in the final seconds of stoppage time after taking a hard collision

The Spirit very nearly had a chance there; 2 minutes of stoppage time left

5 minutes of stoppage time 🫣 it’s all or nothing for the Spirit here

A Rose goal never goes out of style 🌹

Bruninha with the sauce, Lavelle with the dagger

Who else but ROSE LAVELLE to be Gotham’s savior 80’ | Gotham 1 - 0 Spirit

Esther with the closest attempt of the night 🫣

First corner for the Spirit, but Midge Purce forces a second attempt

Looks like Trinity Rodman is getting ready to step on the pitch
