She played her 50th international match for the kiwis and it is sure to be one that she will remember for a long time to come. Just not in a positive way. The Liverpool defender made a hat-trick within half an hour in the international match against the US. Only all three hits were in her own goal.
And a special one too: one with the right, one with the head and another very clumsy one with the left. A ‘perfect hat-trick’ also called in football.
National coach Jika Klimkova couldn’t stand it anymore and replaced Moore in the 40th minute to put her out of her misery. The defender had big tears at her substitution and was fortunately comforted by her teammates.
The US went on to win 5-0 against New Zealand.
