Gotham FC have wrapped up their first-ever NWSL Shield after dismantling Utah Royals 2-0 at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Decision Day. It caps a dominant regular season campaign that sees them enter the playoffs as top seeds.
Ashley Sanchez was the standout individual performer across the entire campaign, finishing the regular season on 20 goals to claim the Golden Boot. Her prolific form has been central to Gotham's march to the Shield.
The eight-team postseason bracket is now locked in. Gotham FC, Washington Spirit, San Diego Wave, Angel City FC, Seattle Reign FC, Portland Thorns, Utah Royals and Kansas City Current all qualified.
Seattle snatched the final spot with a nervy 1-0 victory over Orlando Pride, as OneFootball reports. North Carolina Courage beat Denver Summit by the same scoreline but it wasn't enough to book their place in the bracket.
