The Kansas City Current will face Gotham FC in the NWSL quarterfinals on Sunday, November 9, at 12:30 PM ET. Both teams are eager to advance in the playoffs with strong performances.
The upcoming NWSL quarterfinal game between the Kansas City Current and Gotham FC marks their first playoff meeting. Kansas City has been very strong at home, losing only once since their stadium opened. They finished the regular season with the best records, including the most wins and points in a single season.
Kansas City's success comes from their energetic style of play and solid teamwork. Their star player Temwa Chawinga, a key goal scorer, may return from injury. If she is unable to play, Debinha will take a leading role, bringing her experience and scoring skills. Izzy Rodriguez also adds creativity to their offense, making the team more dangerous.
Gotham FC needs to regain their winning form after recent struggles. The return of their top scorer, Esther González, could help improve their chances. Rose Lavelle has been performing well recently and her ability to create scoring opportunities will be important. Defensively, Emily Sonnett leads the team and must work hard to limit Kansas City's chances.
Kansas City has dominated past matches against Gotham, but Gotham is determined to change that. Both teams have strong goals: Kansas City aims to win their first NWSL title, while Gotham wants to build on their championship from last season.
