HARRISON, NJ (Thursday, March 28, 2024) – After season-opening win over the Portland Thorns, NJ/NY Gotham FC continues its road swing for the second-straight week. The club will take on the North Carolina Courage on Saturday, March 20 at WakeMed Soccer Park (7 p.m. ET, NWSL+). This will be the first match between the two clubs since Gotham FC defeated North Carolina 2-0 in the 2023 NWSL Playoff quarterfinals.
In the club’s first match of the 2024 regular season last week, Gotham FC defeated the Portland Thorns 1-0. Gotham FC forward Esther netted the game winner in the 72nd minute to hand Portland’s first ever loss in its home opener. The goal marked Esther’s second consecutive game-winning goal for the club after scoring the NWSL Championship game-winner on Nov. 11, 2023. Esther also scored the game-winning goal in Gotham FC’s preseason tournament final to win the Women’s Cup Colombia tournament.
The Courage are coming off its first loss of the season against the Utah Royals 2-1. This will be North Carolina’s third game of the season, while this will be Gotham FC’s second game of the season.
