Angel City extends unbeaten streak to 3 games in scoreless draw against Gotham FC

Goalkeeper DiDi Haracic made three saves to visit Angel City in a 0-0 draw with Gotham FC in Sunday’s only match in the National Women’s Soccer League.

Haracic stopped a few shots from Gotham’s Delanie Sheehan and Yazmeen Ryan in the space of four minutes into the first half.

Angel City (3-6-5) are unbeaten in three consecutive games, but are stuck in 11th place in the standings. Gotham (6-4-4) is fifth.

There was a touching moment when Mana Shim stepped into the game for Gotham FC in the second half and was greeted with a warm ovation.

Shim was one of the players to come forward in 2021 with allegations of misconduct and sexual coercion against former NWSL coach Paul Riley, leading to a pair of investigations that misconduct was systemic in the league. Riley, who no longer coaches in the league, denied the allegations.

Shim had not played in an NWSL match since 2018.

Angel City’s Jun Endo, who is on Japan’s roster for the upcoming Women’s World Cup, returned from a knee injury that has sidelined her since late May. She came on as a substitute in the 77th minute.
