The sports bra Brandi Chastain was wearing when she shredded her shirt after making a game-winning penalty kick in the 1999 World Cup has been returned to her, USA Today reports. Like much other memorabilia at New York City’s short-lived Sports Museum of America, it was taken by a US bankruptcy court after the museum went under this spring.

Chastain now has the famous bra back in time for the 10th anniversary of the famous game, which will be celebrated on Sunday when her pro team FC Gold Price plays St. Louis Athletica. "I thought I might need it,” Chastain quipped. “I haven't done laundry in a while.”
