NJ/NY Gotham FC just had a successful start to their CONCACAF W Champions Cup when they beat LD Alajuelense 4-0.  It was the first time the Bats scored four goals, so they will want to put on another strong offensive performance when they take on the Houston Dash. 

The Texas team sits in last place and has only won three matches in the NWSL, with their last league win occurring in May.  Their struggles are often noticeable in games, and Gotham FC has already beaten them away from home.  Therefore, this should be a win on paper.  Anything can happen though.

Meanwhile, Gotham will honor Sinead Farrelly as the club sends her off into her retirement.  Farrelly announced earlier this season that she was retiring due to concussions and she was medically advised not to play.  So, the Bats will honor the player in a postgame ceremony.  It is also Women’s Empowerment Day, so the club should have plenty to celebrate.

It would be amazing to end the game with a win.  Gotham FC entered the fixture in fourth place and needs to keep up with the top teams in the NWSL as the last matches of the season are played.  Since the NJ/NY side is deemed as being the better side, losing should not be an option.

Final Notes

Again, Gotham FC needs to win to remain in the hunt in the climb up the NWSL table.  They also should try to win for Farrelly.  It is sad that she cannot play longer after coming back from her initial retirement.  Alas, concussions are not a joke and must be taken seriously.  It is a good thing Farrelly listened to medical advice rather than risking her life.  She will be missed though, for her impact will forever be felt on and off the pitch.
