All things being equal, Racing are probably a bit lucky to get all three points against Gotham today, but you never apologize for going up 1-0 and hanging on to win.

Lund-7: Made several good saves but was greatly assisted by…

Katie Lund’s Goalpost-10 (Physical Object of the Match): I am not superstitious, nor do I believe in curses but if you told me Gotham had done something to anger the soccer gods, I might believe you.

Fox (Player of the Match)-8: Her ability to use her speed and physicality to get Racing’s defense out of trouble cannot be overstated.

Lester-7: Had a really solid return to the starting lineup and showed her speed to close down a couple of dangerous counters.

Bonner-7: It was good to have the captain back and she was solid as usual.

Martin-7: As more options become available in the defense, it will be interesting to see if she keeps her spot.

Howell-8: Led the team in interceptions with 6 and had a really good aerial clearance in the second half.

DeMelo-8: Again, had really good match and won 13 of her 22 duels.

Chidiac-7: Still getting up to speed, but kick started the movement for the goal.

Kizer-7: Looked dangerous and had the key pass to McDonald during the goal sequence.

McDonald-7: Keeps adding to her NWSL record in assists.

Milliet-7: Finished off the terrific team move for the goal.
