Club América stormed into the Concacaf W Champions Cup final with a commanding 4-1 victory over Gotham FC on Wednesday. Forward Scarlett Camberos delivered a spectacular hat trick, scoring in the 21st minute, 57th minute, and converting a late penalty. Brazilian star Geyse assisted three goals against her former club, showcasing América's lethal attacking play.

The match took a concerning turn when Ann-Katrin Berger suffered a serious injury, requiring a spine board stretcher and hospital transport after colliding with Camberos late in the first half. Berger, instrumental in Gotham's recent successes including last year's NWSL Championship, was replaced by Shelby Hogan for the second half. Gotham coach Juan Carlos Amoros voiced frustration over the lack of video review, suggesting better officiating might have prevented the incident.

Esther González briefly equalized for Gotham three minutes into the second half, but América's superior quality shone through. Camberos restored the lead before Aylin Avilez added a third. The win sets up a final against Washington Spirit, who defeated Pachuca 1-0 in the other semifinal. América now seeks its first international title.

For Gotham, the loss compounds injury concerns while their defensive vulnerabilities were ruthlessly exposed. The defeat ends their quest to retain the Concacaf crown, though they've already secured a spot in the 2028 FIFA Women's Club World Cup. América's triumph validates their emergence as a continental powerhouse.
