00:00As a US player crossed the ball into the centre, the New Zealand defender tried desperately to
00:05intercept it. But in doing so, she kicked it straight into her own goal. Michaela Moore had
00:10just accidentally scored an own goal in the first five minutes of the game. It was humiliating. But
00:16she still had the entire game to redeem herself. And the US certainly weren't expecting what she
00:22would do only a minute later. They put the ball into the centre and she did it again. But it
00:29didn't matter because now she really had something to prove. After all, the game was only six minutes
00:35in. And now, with a chip on her shoulder, she played harder than she ever had before. And just before
00:42the end of the first half, the ball came in. No, no, no, no, no, no. Again, again, really.
00:50But hang on a minute. Michaela had just scored what's known in football as a perfect hat trick.
00:56A goal with the right foot, the head, and the left foot. She was clearly toying with the US team,
01:02giving them a lead in the first half just so she can tear them down in the second.
01:06Oh, no, she got taken off the field and they lost 5-0.
