It was a stepping stone for Gotham, which in its 20-year history has gone from playing at Yurcak Field on the Rutgers campus to finding its new home at Etihad Park, which it will share with NYCFC starting in 2028.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think my favorite thing about tonight is that it isn\u2019t transactional,\u201d NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman told reporters at halftime. \u201cIt\u2019s not a one-and-done.

Queens was the return of a star. In the second half, striker Sam Kerr made her official comeback to Gotham, which she played for when it was known as Sky Blue FC from 2015 to 2017, when it called the Rutgers facility home. Kerr still holds the NWSL record for regular-season goals after six seasons with Chelsea, and the multi-time Olympian came onto the pitch to raucous cheers.<\/p>\n<p>Outside Citi Field Wednesday, the anticipation for the historic event was palpable. One fan, Rysa, hosts a monthly knitting club at Wilka\u2019s Sports Bar in Manhattan, the city\u2019s first sports bar dedicated to women\u2019s sports, and orchestrated a club outing to the match following a trip to the Barclays Center to see the Liberty earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just really joyful.
