The Big Win
The Women’s World Cup kicked off for the first time in 1991. Two tournaments later, the US Women’s National Team made history: against their final opponent China, Brandi Chastain scored the winning penalty in the shootout – and celebrated in unforgettable fashion. She ripped off her shirt to commemorate the triumph.
A moment that captivated not just the stadium, but the entire world: Chastain’s ecstasy symbolized the breakthrough of women’s football into the mainstream media. A picture that shows: victories aren’t just for the scoreboard, but for the feels.
