Canada captain Christine Sinclair became the all-time leading goalscorer across men s and women s international football on Wednesday.
The attacker broke Abby Wambach s record when she scored her 185th goal for Canada in the 23rd minute of an 11-0 win over Saint Kitts and Nevis in Olympic Games qualifying.
Sinclair, 36, earlier opened the scoring with a seventh-minute penalty in her 290th international appearance.
United States legend Wambach who netted her 184th goal in 2015 held the record for over six years after surpassing compatriot Mia Hamm s 158 goals in June 2013.
I definitely feel a relief, Sinclair, an international since 2000, told Canada Soccer.
She made history tonight. Post-match comments from our Captain Christine Sinclair!
