Full time, 2-0 for Gotham. Goals from Esther and Shaw see Gotham, quite remarkably, jump to 3rd in the standings. Other results this weekend may see the drop back down but they will drop no lower than 5th. Remarkable turnaround and it doesn’t look like a fluke. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
While she didn’t make it to the final whistle, this is the first time Price has played 90 minutes since returning from her ACL injury. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
"Nine minues of stoppage. That's longer than a Bluey episode."
Oh, Mike "Hot Soup" Watts, never stop being your wonderful wierd self.

I can’t wait to see what celebration Katie Stengel pulls out when she finally scores. I can’t recall a player come so close to scoring as many times as she has without finding the back of the net. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Meanwhile there were two Gotham subs. Geyse and Bruninha make way for Katie Stengel and Mandy Freeman. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
3-0 Gotham and it’s Esther with her 14th(!!) goal of the season off of a trademark Purce run and pass. Gotham will at least for right now, move to 3rd place in the standings. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
And there’s your fairytale moment! Shaw with a headed goal off of a beautiful ball from Jaelin Howell to double Gotham’s lead! #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Lavelle now comes off in the 76th minute for Josefine Hasbo. Not an overly defensive change but Hasbo will play deeper than Lavelle usually does. This should also see Shaw play further forward. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Very nearly exactly how Gotham would have drawn it up. Shaw to Lavelle to Esther but this one results in a corner instead of a goal. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Big break for Gotham as the Wave’s biggest attacking threat Delphine Cascarino is forced off due to injury on the hour mark. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Looks like Esther is back at her usual number 9 role, pushing Geyse over to the left and Shaw taking Esther’s spot next to Lavelle in midfield. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
The Jaedyn Shaw era has now begun at Gotham with her coming on as a halftime sub for Gabi Portilho. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Halftime, 1-0 to Gotham. Gotham really came on strong right at the end, but they didn’t have a lot of good, nor a lot of bad, before the goal. But good teams tend to find a way and so far they’ve found a way to go into halftime with the lead. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Esther almost gets her second of the game as a header from a corner produces a phenomenal save from Kailen Sheridan who tips it onto the crossbar and keeps this at a one goal game. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
That goal also sees Esther once again re-take the golden boot lead from Temwa Chawinga with the two seemingly trading the lead back and forth every week. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
And San Diego very nearly get one back as a strong shot from Corley whizzes just wide of the post. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Oh wow. Gotham steals one just before halftime after being second best for most of the opening 45. They take advantage of a poor back pass and Esther slots it into an empty net. Great pressure from Geyse to create the chance. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
First good chance of the game for either team sees Berger make a save reminiscent of her viral one from the Euros this summer. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Pretty low event game so far, with neither team having many good chances. Will be interesting to see if Gotham changes things again come half time if things continue to go this way. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Difficult to tell when watching at home compared to in person but it does look like Gotham is running a 3-4-3 system in possession similar to what we saw last week. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
Really good 1v1 defending there by Reale against one of the most dangerous forwards in the league in Cascarino. #GothamFC #GFCvSD #NWSL
