Final Thoughts:
This draw is more devastating for Courage. As they have to wait for the outcome of Washington Spirit /Houston Dash, to find out if they will play Next Sunday. A Dash draw and win and North Carolina will be eliminated from 2021 NWSL Playoffs. If Dash losses, Courage clinches a NWSL Playoff Spot.

For the Thorns, they played okay but were they enjoyed the luxury to rest some of their stars, in the 2nd Half.

With the draw, NJY Gotham FC clinched a NWSL Playoff Spot.
