Christine Sinclair becomes soccer's all-time leader in international goals with 185th tally

Christine Sinclair — the Canadian soccer legend — has officially done it.

The mainstay in the sport became the all-time leader in international goals scored when she found the back of the net for the second time in a contest against Saint Kitts and Nevis on Wednesday.

That’s the textbook, calm finish that Canadians have been spoiled watching for years.

The tally — the 185th international goal of her career — made it 4-0 for Canada in the 23rd minute of the game. The moment the ball crossed the line, she jumped over Abby Wambach of the United States for sole possession of the crown.
