Zambian soccer player Barbra Banda made history by becoming the first female player to ever score back-to-back hat tricks at the Olympics in her team's 4-4 draw with China on Saturday. Banda's six total goals also tied Canadian Christine Sinclair's record for most goals in a single women's Olympic soccer tournament, a mark set at the 2012 London Games. The 21-year-old striker and team captain became the first African in Olympic history to score a hat trick, and she now holds the women's record for most Olympic goals by an African. Thanks to Banda, the team has already broken the record for most Olympic goals by an African team in a single competition. WATCH l CBC Sports' The Olympians feature on women's soccer:
