It took less than seven minutes for Sam Kerr to score her first NWSL goal since returning from the Women's World Cup, and she finished with a hat trick for the Chicago Red Stars in a 3-2 win over Orlando on Sunday.



Kerr, who became the first Australian to score a World Cup hat trick when she scored four goals in the 4-1 in over Jamaica, leads the NWSL with nine goals.

Brazilians Marta and Camila returned to action for Orlando. Marta scored on a penalty kick in the 79th minute.
