Australian Alanna Kennedy's Western New York Flash have won the US National Women's Soccer League championship after a dramatic victory in the final over Washington Spirit.
The Matildas central defender, who played the full match in the final, lifted the trophy after the Flash won 3-2 on penalties on Sunday in Houston.
With the game deadlocked at 2-2 after extra time, Flash goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo emerged the hero, saving three Spirit penalties in the shootout in front of 8,000 fans.
With the teams tied at 1-1 after 90 minutes, Crystal Dunn gave the Spirit the lead two minutes into extra time.
Golden Boot winner Lynn Williams tied the game for the Flash with a goal in injury-time of the second period of extra time to send the match to penalties.
It caps a memorable season for Kennedy, with the 21-year-old making her Olympic debut in Rio following strong form in the NWSL.
