Gotham FC clinched the NWSL Championship title with a 2-1 victory over the Reign at Snapdragon stadium in San Diego. Lynn Williams and Esther Gonzalez, who scored with a header in first-half stoppage time, were the goal scorers for Gotham while Rose Lavelle scored for the Reign. Megan Rapinoe, who was playing her final game before retirement, suffered an early injury. The game was marked by a strong possession from Gotham, led by Midge Purce, and was played in front of a record crowd.
Drama-packed first half in the @NWSL championship game. But stunning @mPinoe goes off straight away with an injury, but lots of chances both ways. Star-studded lineups but so good to see @roselavelle doing her thing. @USWNT missed her https://t.co/hmIGYNY28h

GOAL Lynn Williams! Midge Purce dices up defenders on the right side and Williams buries it. 1-0 Gotham.
Lynn Williams puts the first great opportunity of the day over the bar. Gotham held the ball for ~20 passes and over 60 seconds in that sequence, switching the field twice with big, square balls. Wonderful run of possession to pin back the Reign. #NWSLChampionship
