Never before seen: a Liverpool player scores three own goals in an international match against the United States | foreign soccer

New Zealand took on world champion United States on Sunday night in Carson, Los Angeles, for the SheBelieves Cup, an annual tournament featuring four national women’s soccer teams. The evening began in dramatic fashion for Moore. After 4 minutes and 12 seconds of play, she scored her first own goal, driving the ball into the goal with her right at the near post.

When there was 5 minutes and 32 seconds on the clock (eighty counts later), it went wrong again for Moore. This time the ball went through his head and past his own goalkeeper. Half an hour later, Moore also made it 3-0 for Team USA, this time kicking the ball very clumsily into his own goal with his left. A “perfect hat trick” for Moore, but unfortunately for his own purpose.

In the 40th minute, four minutes after her third own goal, Moore was lifted out of her misery and replaced by national coach Jitka Klimkova. Moore left the field in tears, but was comforted by her teammates. “Everyone who plays football plays good games and bad games, no matter what level you play. And Moore has had a tough day now,” Klimkova said. “She is very disappointed and sad, but we support her. .”

Six minutes after the break, Team USA took a 4-0 lead, this time thanks to a goal from American striker Ashley Hatch. In injury time, Mallory Pugh made it 5-0 for the United States, who beat Orange in the summer of 2019 in the World Cup final in Lyon.

Moore has played in Europe since 2017. After spells with FC Köln and MSV Duisburg, she is now in her third season with Liverpool, playing in the FA Women’s Championship, the second tier of English women’s football. Moore had also scored three times on target for the soccer fernsas the New Zealand women’s team is nicknamed.
