NJ/NY Gotham FC faces Portland Thorns in a 2021
Challenge Cup Final rematch on Sunday, May 30 at Red
Bull Arena. In celebration of Asian American and Pacific
Islander Heritage month, the match will be presented by
Welcome to Chinatown, a grassroots initiative to support
Chinatown businesses and amplify community voices in
one of New York City’s most vibrant neighborhoods. The
action kicks off at 3:00 p.m. ET and will be streamed on
Paramount+ (U.S.) and Twitch (international).
Gotham FC jumps right back into action this week after
playing to a scoreless draw against the Red Stars last
Saturday at SeatGeek Stadium. Despite no goals being
scored, the match certainly had its chances from both
teams. Gotham FC managed to hit the crossbar twice,
denying what would have been brilliant goals from Carli
Lloyd and Evelyne Viens.
Budweiser Player of the Match Allie Long was
instrumental in the team’s midfield distribution. She
logged a full 90 minutes against Chicago and completed
69 of 73 passes, an accuracy of 94.5%. It was the
highest completion percentage for a Gotham FC player
that attempted more than 70 passes in a match since
Christie Pearce (81/84 – 96.4%) against FC Kansas City
in July 2017.
4 NJ/NY Gotham FC vs Portland Thorns
Gotham FC’s defensive efforts were once again critical
to the team’s success. The Red Stars’ chances on target
outpaced the visiting team 5/0 and their high press
consistently tested Gotham FC’s back line throughout the
match. As in previous matches, Gotham FC’s organized
defense carried the team to another shutout, its fifth in
the last seven matches. Goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan came
up with five crucial saves en route to her second clean
sheet of 2021.
The Portland Thorns enter tomorrow’s match on the tail
end of a two-game road stretch looking to get back on
track after falling to OL Reign 2-1 in the Cascadia
Rivalry at home last Sunday and a 2-1 loss at Orlando on
Wednesday night. Simone Charley scored the lone goal for
the Thorns in the 42nd minute to bring the game level in
Orlando, but the Pride would regain the lead immediately
at the start of the second half. The characteristically
high-powered offense that sits atop the league
leaderboard in goals scored, shots taken, and shots
on goal has generated only two goals in the last two
matches. Veteran Christine Sinclair leads the team with
three goals followed by Sophia Smith with two. Morgan
Weaver adds to their offensive depth with two assists in
2021 so far.
If the 2021 Challenge Cup Final is any indication, the
rematch between these two teams should be a tightly
contested affair. Following the match on Sunday, Gotham
FC will be back at Red Bull Arena on Saturday, June 5,
taking on the visiting OL Reign at 7:00 p.m. ET.
