US player scores a ridiculous goal from midfield to complete a hat trick in the World Cup final

The United States took a commanding 4-0 lead in the 16th minute of the World Cup final when Carli Lloyd scored an absolute stunner from midfield.

The goal came less than 90 seconds after taking a 3-0 lead and it was Lloyd's third goal of the match.

Replays showed that the Japan keeper slipped trying to retreat to her goal but still got a hand on the ball. It was not enough.
