It was the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup final in Vancouver, and the U.S. women's national team were playing Japan. Carli Lloyd, 33 at the time, had scored a goal in every game of the knockout stage.
She was on a mission to bring back the World Cup trophy to the U.S. after falling short of the title in 2011 and missing a penalty kick in the shootout. Four years later, Lloyd entered the pitch and within minutes found the back of the net. The USWNT were ahead 4-0 within the first 16 minutes, with three of those goals coming from Lloyd.
In the process, Lloyd became the first player to score three goals in a FIFA Women's World Cup final, and the second to do so at a senior FIFA World Cup. The USWNT went on to win 5-2 to become World Cup champions.
How did it all play out? Here's a look back at that moment, and what it meant, in this edition of... Throwback Thursday.
