Meikayla Moore, a New Zealand football defender, made history on Sunday becoming the first player to score a hat-trick of own goals during match.
Moore scored three goals against her own team in the first half of the SheBelieves Cup game against the United States on Sunday.
Owing to the unusual feat, New Zealand eventually lost 0-5 to the United States, trailing 3-0 at half time.
She was later substituted off by head coach Jitka Klimkova after the damage had been done.
She slumped into Klimkova’s arms upon coming off. The coach did all she could to comfort her struggling defender.
The 25-year-old Moore was on her 50th cap for New Zealand in the match. She plays her club football for Liverpool FC in England.
