It was all about defense and possession for Gotham FC on a beautiful day at Sports Illustrated Stadium, as Gotham is on to the next round of the NWSL playoffs with a 1-0 decision against Seatte.
The Bats were able to see an early goal and had plenty of other opportunities, but it was really the defense that was the star of the show in the Quarterfinal round.
Showing off the goalkeeping skills was Ann-Katrin Berger, as she made several highlight reel plays during the game.
AKB had herself a milestone day as she was able to tie Nicole Barnhart, AD Franch and Mandy McGlynn’s league record with her third playoff shutout.
