Rose Lavelle scores in Gotham debut to save draw with Louisville

Rose Lavelle , making her first appearance for Gotham FC , scored seven minutes into stoppage time for a 1-1 draw with Racing Louisville on Sunday in the NWSL .

After a stalemate in regulation, rookie Reilyn Turner 's goal gave Louisville (1-0-6) the lead earlier in stoppage time. Racing was coming off their first victory last weekend against Utah after opening the season with five straight draws.

Gotham (1-2-3), the defending NWSL champions, were winless in their previous three matches while dealing with a spate of injuries.

Coach Juan Carlos Amoros shook up his lineup a bit, with a starting front line including Lynn Williams , Esther and Crystal Dunn . Esther, who played for Spain 's winning team in last year's Women's World Cup, scored the team's two goals going into the match.

Lavelle, acquired as a free agent in the offseason from OL Reign, made her debut for Gotham in the 74th minute after being sidelined for the start of the season with a lower-leg injury.

Racing is among just three unbeaten teams in the league.
