Outstanding goal alert in the women's football tournament at the Olympic Games.
And who other than Megan Rapinoe, 2019 Golden Ball and huge star in the United States, to register this sublime returning corner.
In the 8th minute of the small final against Australia, the reigning world champion opened the scoring by lobbing goaltender Teagan Micah with a superb putt kick, which ended her race in the opposite small net.
To consume without moderation !

And the 36-year-old winger didn't stop there.
Rapinoe offered himself a brace in the 21st minute, with the key, a nice volley in the top right corner of the Australian goal on a bad raise from the defense.
A goal that allows the United States to return to Australia in the small final, before making the break at half-time (3-1).
Bronze medal in sight for the band of Rapinoe, which makes up for it after their elimination in the semi-finals against Canada (0-1) in Tokyo, and their exit from the road from the quarters in Rio.
