Gotham FC secured a 1-0 victory over Seattle Reign FC on Sunday to advance to the National Women's Soccer League semifinals, with the decisive goal coming via an own goal. The match, played on November 8, 2026, saw Gotham progress despite failing to register a single shot on target throughout the game.
The lone goal came when a Seattle defender inadvertently directed the ball into her own net, handing Gotham the lead. Gotham's defense held firm for the remainder of the match, preserving the narrow advantage and booking their place in the final four of the NWSL playoffs.
