Gallery | Reggae Girlz vs Australia
It was a moment akin to finding a sparkling oasis amid the sweltering heat of a desert as Jamaicans watched as Havana Solaun rounded the Australian goalkeeper to neatly slip the ball into the net on Tuesday, June 18, 2019.
She scored Jamaica’s first and only goal in a FIFA Women’s World Cup. As the ball rolled across the line, Stade des Alpes in Grenoble, France, came to life to celebrate the feat despite the crushing defeat that was to come.
The game came to an end 4-1 as Australia sealed the Reggae Girlz’s exit from the tournament, with Player of the Match Sam Kerr scoring all four goals for the Matildas.
