Key Player Matchups
Temwa Chawinga (KC FW) vs. Gotham Backline: Chawinga scored 18 goals in 2025 and remains the most dangerous striker in the league. Gotham’s defense must contain her pace and finishing.
Debinha (KC MF) vs. Rose Lavelle (Gotham MF): If Lavelle is fit, this midfield duel could dictate tempo. Debinha’s creativity is central to KC’s attack.
Esther González (Gotham FW) vs. KC Defense: González’s aerial presence is Gotham’s best chance to break through against KC’s backline.
