It was easy to miss at first glance but a new angle makes it very clear.
Trailing 1-0, Clare Hunt intercepted a ball that was deflected to teammate Katrina Gorry who then found Kerr in space.The superstar striker dribbled up alongside her Chelsea teammate Millie Bright and made a remarkable strike from well outside the box that cannoned into the top corner to score one of the great World Cup goals in history.Replays of the shot will be shown decades from now and about 78,000 people will tell their grandchildren they were there to witness Sam Kerr’s greatness.
But there was one replay that wasn’t seen on the Australian broadcast that has uncovered a noticeable detail that was hard to see on the night.An extra angle that wasn’t originally seen shows a considerable deflection from the leg of Millie Bright that was hard to pick up on first viewing. “What a goal! Sam Kerr, from the top drawer. It just had to be. World Cup goal No.6, international goal No.64,” David Basheer said on commentary for Channel 7.
“That is a howitzer from Sam Kerr. It took a little nick off Millie Bright, but no one was stopping that. “And once more, Mary Earps has to pick a ball out of the back of the net struck by Sam Kerr. And suddenly, Stadium Australia erupts into a frenzy.”Your cookie settings are preventing this third party content from displaying.
