Australia has one of the best squads at the women’s Olympic soccer tournament, and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if they captured a medal. 2012 bronze medalists Canada only needed 19 seconds to score on them. Here’s Canadian legend Christine Sinclair setting up Janine Beckie for the fastest goal in the history of women’s Olympic soccer.

Sinclair is one of the best players of all time. She’s second all-time worldwide in international goals and fourth in appearances. And now she has yet another accolade for her incredible resume, a nutmeg assist for the fastest goal ever in the Olympics.
