Gotham FC fell 1-0 to Brazil’s Corinthians on Wednesday in the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup semifinal at Brentford Stadium despite controlling long stretches of the match and creating the majority of the chances.
“The team did really well in every aspect apart from scoring goals…I think we dominated. We prepared the whole month for this, and unfortunately today we weren’t good in that aspect. So, that’s how I think that’s obviously what made the final outcome, which is that we will have to play for that third place game. Congratulate Corinthians, you wish them all the best, and we will get ready for the third place battle.” said Gotham FC coach Juan Carlos Amorós postmatch.
Gotham will move on to the tournament’s innagural third place match facing either Arsenal FC or ASFAR
