Gotham FC Defeats Utah Royals 3-1; Esther González Scores Two Goals for Victory

Esther González scored two goals to power Gotham FC to a 3-1 victory over the Utah Royals in a National Women's Soccer League match on Friday night, according to AP News. The win was one of four NWSL games played that evening, with the Orlando Pride, Boston Legacy, and Bay FC also picking up victories.
Gotham FC's win over the Utah Royals was not without drama. The match was delayed nearly an hour due to inclement weather before getting underway, according to Newsday.

Amanda Gutierres scored for the second consecutive game, helping the Pride control the match from start to finish, according to Bakersfield. Nichelle Prince also added a goal to round out a dominant display.
The Boston Legacy kept their strong form going with a 2-0 win over the Chicago Stars, according to WV News. It was a clean sheet for Boston, who continue to build momentum in the league standings.
Bay FC also picked up three points, edging Racing Louisville 2-1 in a tight contest. The narrow margin reflected a competitive game, with Bay FC holding on for a hard-fought victory. Four NWSL teams walked away with wins on a busy Friday night of soccer.
