Sam Ker proved once again that she’s one of the best strikers in the world with one boot of a ball in Australia’s 2023 World Cup semifinal against England.
With Australia down 1-0 on its home turf against England and a trip to the World Cup Final on the line, Kerr got the ball on her feet thanks to a turnover. England’s defenders — two of them — were staying back, knowing what she could do there.

But what they didn’t account for was the space that gave her, and the kick went to the upper left corner for a GOLAZO.
