The Royals\u2019 2-1 win over Racing Louisville sees Utah in third place with a game in hand behind leaders Portland and San Diego. Through 10 games, the Royals have already matched their win total from the entirety of last season (6). They are the only NWSL team this season that has scored in 90 percent of their games. Only Gotham FC has conceded fewer goals so far (5 to Utah\u2019s 7). Utah rode an impressive 536-minute shutout streak until Kayla Fischer\u2019s second-half goal last weekend. The Royals stumbled out of the gate this season, losing their first two matches. They have not lost since.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Denver is a lean, green, goal-scoring machine<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"equalizer-paywall\">\n<div class=\"paywall-block\">\n<p>\n      Access the best women\u2019s soccer coverage all year long\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n     Start your FREE, 7-day trial of The Equalizer Extra for industry-leading reporting and insight on the USWNT, NWSL and beyond.\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 3 --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/equalizersoccer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/equalizerWhite-1.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/equalizersoccer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/equalizerWhite-1.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Equalizer Soccer\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/equalizersoccer.com\/2026\/05\/21\/talking-points-a-good-week-for-utah-denver-and-attendance-a-mixed-week-for-gotham-fc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo courtesy of Utah Royals FC The Utah Royals\u2019 success is no fluke, Denver finds goals from several sources, a full house is the name of the game in many NWSL markets, and concern for Gotham FC goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger.
