NJ/NY Gotham FC drew a record crowd of 15,058 to Red Bull Arena on Sunday night (including Sam Kerr, Eli Manning and Roger Bennett), but they fell to the visiting San Diego Wave 1-0 after Makenzy Doniak (a halftime substitute) scored just 44 seconds into the second half.
The 29-year-old's second goal of the season helped the Wave move level on points with the Portland Thorns at the top of the NWSL table. Gotham are two points back in fourth-place after 10 games.
INSTANT OFFENSE.

Doniak was then given post-match interview honors on CBSSN, but San Diego goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan made sure that she also fulfilled her responsibility of holding stuff.
