Did Gotham pull off the biggest NWSL Playoff upset ever?

For the first time in NWSL history, a No.8 defeated the top seed in the playoffs. But this wasn't just any top seed. This was a record-breaking Kansas City Current team that hadn't lost at home for 490 days. So, did NJ/NY Gotham FC pull off the biggest upset in NWSL history?

On this week's Full Time Review, Jillian Sakovits is joined by Tamerra Griffin, who was in Kansas City, to break down that extraordinary road victory. What was Gotham's game plan, and how was it so effective? How much did the absences of Temwa Chawinga and Michelle Cooper affect the Current? Why does Jaedyn Shaw adamantly disagree with the "underdog" tag being given to Gotham?

PLUS: Analysis and reaction of every NWSL Playoff quarterfinal, including a check-in with Melanie Anzidei fresh from experiencing the Washington Spirit's shootout win over Racing Louisville, Marta and the emotion of Luana's brilliant penalty kick, and the emergence of Reilyn Turner as a Portland Thorns hero.
