Gotham FC beat the Seattle Reign in Sunday’s NWSL playoff quarterfinal, but the scoreline was not the main talking point. The only goal of the match came from a own goal in the fourth minute, and the playing surface drew more attention than the football.
Both clubs have spoken out about the state of the pitch, with the Reign’s side describing the conditions as “atrocious”. The poor field made the game a difficult spectacle, and the criticism is likely to keep the issue in the spotlight as the playoffs continue.
