The NWSL playoff picture is sharpening up nicely. Washington Spirit take on Utah Royals on Saturday 14 November at 12:00 PM ET, before Gotham FC square off with Kansas City Current a day later at 3:00 PM ET. Both ties promise drama - and plenty of quality.
Gotham FC ground out a 1-0 win over Seattle to book their semi-final spot, and it was the rearguard that did the heavy lifting. Centre-backs Jess Carter and Tierna Davidson were immense, while goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger produced a string of vital saves to keep the clean sheet intact.
Kansas City Current battled through a bruising quarter-final against Angel City and now head to New York with every intention of punishing defensive lapses. Temwa Chawinga and Croix Bethune will be the ones Gotham need to watch - both are capable of turning a game in an instant, as per NWSL.
Washington Spirit arrive in superb form. Trinity Rodman and Clara Luvanga each racked up three goal contributions in the quarters - a historic feat for both. Luvanga and fellow newcomer Mélissa Bethi have slotted in seamlessly, giving the Spirit serious depth heading into a home clash with Utah.
Utah Royals are in uncharted territory after shocking second-seeded San Diego Wave to reach the semis for the first time. Keeper Mandy McGlynn summed up the mood perfectly: "Why not us?" They'll need that fearless mentality when they step into what promises to be a hostile Washington atmosphere.
