Louisville v Gotham
Ryan, Stevens lead Gotham FC past Racing Louisville
Led by goals from Yazmeen Ryan and Ella Stevens, NJ/NY Gotham FC defeated Racing Louisville FC 2-0 on the road Saturday.
Ryan's shot from outside the box, assisted by Crystal Dunn, found the bottom-left corner to put Gotham FC ahead in the 21st minute, and Stevens extended the lead with another strike off an assist from Mandy Freeman in the 53rd minute.
Gotham's defense played a crucial role in maintaining the lead, with goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger making several key saves to keep Racing Louisville at bay. Additionally, midfielders Rose Lavelle and Crystal Dunn contributed significantly to controlling the pace of the game and creating scoring opportunities.
Despite efforts from Savannah DeMelo and Emma Sears, who attempted shots on target, Racing Louisville struggled to break through Gotham's defense.
