Former U.S. women’s national team star Heather O’Reilly kicked off her long-anticipated UEFA Women’s Champions League debut with a goal for Irish side Shelbourne FC.
O’Reilly previously cited the chance to play in the Champions League as one of the primary reasons for coming out of retirement this summer, and just four minutes in, she made it a memorable introduction to the competition.
Against Slovenian side Pomurje in the first of two rounds of group stage qualifying, the 37-year-old winger sent a looping header off a loose ball over the keeper before being swarmed by her Shelbourne teammates in celebration.
