Seattle Reign’s season ended with a 1-0 playoff loss to top-seeded Gotham FC after an early own goal. The Reign created several chances and pressed hard after halftime, but Gotham goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger’s saves and Seattle’s missed opportunities kept them from equalizing. The match also marked Jess Fishlock’s final appearance for Seattle.

By the Numbers
  • Final score: Gotham FC 1, Seattle Reign 0.
  • Gotham scored in the 4th minute; Seattle’s apparent 59th-minute equalizer was ruled offside.
  • Fishlock finished her final season with 4 goals and 1 assist.
Yes, But

Seattle arguably had the better chances and controlled much of the second half, but couldn’t turn its pressure into a goal. Gotham’s decisive early lead and Berger’s key saves proved enough to send the reigning champions through.

Bottom Line

The Reign’s playoff run ended narrowly, but the loss closes a significant chapter: club legend Jess Fishlock has played her final match for Seattle.
