AC Milan prevail 1-0 over Inter in the Derby della Madonnina courtesy of a 54th minute goal by Christian Pulisic. Pulisic went 78 minutes in the match, & had the crucial tally, converting a rebound from Alexis Saelemaekers' shot. U.S. fans will be happy to see Pulisic back on the scoresheet. #usmnt

Gotham's season was up/down, but the highs brought trophies: First Concacaf and now the #NWSL Championship, a 2nd in 3 years. This is team has mastered the art of knockout soccer, rising to the occasion in big moments. Rose Lavelle did that on Saturday.
Gotham rides series of magic moments to win NWSL Championship
Nobody could be fooled into thinking that Gotham was the best team over the course of the NWSL season. But, on Saturday, the team's stars shone brightest when it counted most.

The emotions overflowed for Trinity Rodman following the Washington Spirit's 1-0 defeat to Gotham FC in the #NWSL Championship final. Tears were shed, as she said she "definitely underperformed." Obviously more to the defeat than her performance, but it still cut deep.

FT: Gotham 1-0 Washington. Lavelle the hero in a tight, tight match. Amoros' sub of Bruninha for Reale played a huge part in the result. Not only did Kouassi not have much influence thereafter, but Bruninha assisted on the game-winner.
Rodman just didn't look anything close to full strength. #NWSL

HT: Gotham 0-0 Washington. Half fizzled out in terms of chances after some early aggression by Gotham. Half got increasingly physical as well, but neither side could create a clear opening. Going to take something special (or a huge mistake) for either team to find a breakthrough. #NWSL
