Sydney Leroux Recalling Her Very First Olympic Goal Will Give You Chills

In this exclusive clip, U.S. Women’s National Team stars Abby Wambach and Sydney Leroux recall a moment of greatness.

Soccer star Sydney Leroux remembers the moment she scored the winning goal in the 2012 Olympic games, her very first olympic goal, in this clip from ESPNW's ongoing What Makes Us series.

The series, which highlights the inspirational stories behind some of the biggest names in women's sport, is shot by filmmakers Rena and Nadine Mundo — better known as The Mundo Sisters.

The United States was up 1-0 against New Zealand when Leroux came in, but the game was still very much touch-and-go.

She catches the ball on a breakaway and suddenly the must-win match is on her shoulders.

As anyone would, Leroux looks for Wambach to seal the deal.
