OLYMPIC QUALIFYING BEGAN in the usual way for the US Women’s team last night as they easily brushed past Costa Rica.
But from the five goals they scored, one stood out.
With seven minutes remaining Tobin Heath sent in a cross from the left and Christen Press conjured a moment of individual magic.
With her back to goal, she trapped the ball with the outside of her right foot, spun around, completely bamboozled a Costa Rican defender and finished nonchalantly inside the near post.
It has to be seen to be believed.
The game also saw Alex Morgan score after just twelve seconds – the fastest goal ever for the USWNT.
