Description
As Brandi Chastain set the ball down to take her final kick, millions of soccer fans held their breath. At the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup final, the United States and China had played to a 0-0 tie in overtime. With the penalty kick shoot-out tied at 4-4, Chastain's last kick sailed into China's goal and the crowd erupted with joy. Chastain's game-winning goal is one of the greatest moments in sports history. Readers will get an up-close look at the 1999 U.S. Women's Soccer team and their thrilling victory at the World Cup championship.
