In 1999 Brandi Chastain scored the fifth and final Team USA goal during Penalty Kicks to seal the Women’s FIFA World Cup Championship over China, 5-4, in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA.
Chastain then promptly removed her jersey and began swinging it wildly overhead as on-rushing teammates mobbed her. The photo – and many similar from various angles – has become iconic.
What’s sometimes is lost to the memory banks is the save by American keeper, Briana Scurry, in the third round of PKs that allowed Chastain’s goal to prove decisive. Enjoy this recent powerful piece by CBS Mornings in which Briana reads aloud a “Note to Her Younger Self.”
