The MF crew talk about Bayer Leverkusen yet again finding a way with late game dramatics to pull off a draw at home against Stuttgart. Death, taxes, and Bayer Leverkusen not losing this season seem to be the new three official guarantees in life. With the Bundesliga title already won, Leverkusen is still playing with belief for something greater. The team has now scored 29 goals after the 80's minute and have only given up 5 goals in that same window. What's even crazier is that they've scored equalizers beyond the 85th minute in the last 3 matches. It's unexplainable and if this holds, will go down as one of, if not, the most memorable campaign any team has ever played in the the sport's history.

Attacking Third's Lisa Carlin and Darian Jenkins join Morning Footy to recap the incredible match between the Orlando Pride and Washington Spirit for the NWSL Title at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City. Barbra Banda scored the game's only goal in the 37' after a controversial no-call which led to the goal. The Pride and their stingy defense were then able to hold off the Spirit's notable attack to bring home the club's first ever NWSL Title after already winning this year's Supporters' Shield. Seb Hines became the first every Black Head Coach in NWSL history to win Coach of the Year, the Supporter' Shield, and the NWSL Title capping off what was a historical season for the Pride.

The MF crew react to the news about 3 Valencia fans who have now been sentenced to prison for racist abuse committed at a soccer match in Spain against Vini Jr. The fans are also banned from entering soccer stadiums for two year and must pay the court costs for the case.
