The green digits read 20. The red ones read 10. And that combination signaled the end of Carli Lloyd\u2019s day.<\/p>\n<p>Lloyd had spent her final seconds on the field questioning why play had been stopped after a Racing Louisville FC foul, why she couldn\u2019t have kept dribbling the ball, trying to set up NJ\/NY Gotham FC\u2019s second goal of the game, but then the signal from the sideline came.<\/p>\n<p>Then the fans, some donning Lloyd\u2019s No. 10 jersey and others holding homemade signs that penned her name, cheered the loudest they had all afternoon \u2014 louder than Lloyd\u2019s pregame introduction, louder than the crescendo of noise every time she touched the ball, even louder than her goal in the 52nd minute \u2014 as \u00c9velyne Viens awaited her near the Gotham FC bench.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Sunday continued Lloyd\u2019s retirement tour heading into the end of the 2021 NWSL season, complementing her last game in Philadelphia on Oct. 6 and her last national team game on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve been on this never-ending farewell game tour,\u201d Lloyd joked in her postgame press conference.<\/p>\n<p>This one was her last regular-season home game near her hometown of Delran, N.J. and it ended in a 1-1 draw against Racing Louisville FC with Lloyd scoring the lone goal \u2014 a fitting unfolding of the Carli Lloyd Farewell Match.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/103121GothamSoccerAW22.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1000\" alt=\"Soccer\" class=\"wp-image-19985879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/103121GothamSoccerAW22.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/103121GothamSoccerAW22.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=500 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption>Fans say thank you to Carli Lloyd for all she\u2019s done for soccer.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Annie Wermiel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cNot a lot of athletes get to dictate when they want to leave their sport, and not a lot of athletes get to leave on top,\u201d Lloyd said. \u201cNot a lot of athletes get a two-plus month farewell tour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Lloyd stood near the middle of the field \u2014 her arms crossed and tugging the sleeves of her jersey \u2014 while a ceremonial video played. The Lloyd on the screen talked about wanting to inspire the next generation of soccer players, about how when she started playing the attendance numbers paled in comparison to what they\u2019ve reached now. Then, once the tribute had ended, Lloyd waved to that next generation of soccer players and game attendees crowding the rows behind the benches.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/103121GothamSoccerAW31.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1000\" alt=\"Gotham\" class=\"wp-image-19985901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/103121GothamSoccerAW31.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/103121GothamSoccerAW31.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=500 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption>Carli Lloyd heads the ball during her final match.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Annie Wermiel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s obviously been way different from my start to my finish,\u201d Lloyd said. \u201cI think that that\u2019s really good, that\u2019s a good sign.

THANK YOU CARLI,\u201d sign flashed across the video screen, and others popped up during warm-ups. Gotham FC\u2019s 11 starters all strolled out to the field wearing matching No. 10 jerseys, Lloyd\u2019s name etched across each of their backs. It created an emotional buzz that reverberated throughout the sections every time Lloyd touched the ball, a buildup to the two key moments that grew to define her final home game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/103121GothamSoccerAW19.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1000\" alt=\"Lloyd\" class=\"wp-image-19985890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/103121GothamSoccerAW19.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/103121GothamSoccerAW19.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=500 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption>Carli Lloyd, who is retiring, interacts with the fans.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Annie Wermiel<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first came in the 52nd minute when Elizabeth Eddy sent a cross-field pass to Lloyd and she bounced a header into the right corner, pumping her fist in celebration.

She motioned her hands at Viens as if ushering her substitute onto the field, and then continued down the Gotham FC bench, hugging head coach Scott Parkinson and the rest of her teammates.<\/p>\n<p>When she reached the final chairs and sat down, she pulled a pink pinnie over her jersey, the No. 10 now partially covered, and sat back. And for the remainder of the match, Lloyd watched as the future of the Gotham FC \u2014 the future of the sport she\u2019d helped shape at both the national and club level \u2014 continued without her.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
