A last-minute candidate for voting, US Women's National Team forward Abby Wambach's header goal against Brazil that led to an eventual 5-3 penalty kick shootout victory in the quarterfinals of the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup tournament was selected by fans as the Best Play Of The Year at the 2011 ESPY Awards, held by ESPN, Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Wambach's goal easily outplaced a second-place effort by Eric Haasli of Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps for an incredibly goal scored in a June 11 matchup against the Seattle Sounders.
