After a significant weather delay that ate up the game’s entire TV window on ABC, Seattle Reign opened up a two-goal lead at Icahn Stadium in New York, but allowed three NJ/NY Gotham FC goals in the final ten minutes plus stoppage time. As a result of one of the most dramatic comeback wins in club history, Gotham moves into first place in the National Women’s Soccer League standings.

It was a great game from Mercado

Mercado got her name directly on the scoresheet when she scored for the second straight match, doubling Seattle’s lead in the 22nd minute. She leads the Reign with four goals this season. Maddie Dahlien recorded the assist and got a chance to widen the lead with a penalty of her own in the 57th minute, but her effort banged off the post.
