Not all braces are created equally.

USWNT star defender Naomi Girma has become a fixture in the team's starting 11 and is one of the best defenders in the sport, but despite that fact had never scored an international goal. That came to an end on Wednesday night.

The American star scored not one, but two goals in the USWNT's 3-0 drubbing of Argentina.

An Aldana Cometti own-goal provided the game's remaining tally.

Yes, Girma's first goal was aided by a clear miscommunication between Argentina goalkeeper Solana Pereyra and one of her defenders.
