During the U.S.'s first two matches in Athens, she played a direct role in four of the five goals that the team scored resulting in wins over Greece and Brazil. During the team's first group stage match against Greece on August 11, 2004, Wambach scored during the 30th minute to elevate the Americans to a 2-0 lead. She received her first yellow card of the tournament in the 49th minute. Mia Hamm followed with a goal in the 82nd minute for a final score of 3-0.  The U.S. faced Brazil during their second match of the tournament on August 14.

Her last-minute goal was hailed as one of the five biggest goals in U.S. women's national team history by ESPN in 2011. Wambach finished the tournament with four goals and one assist. Her four goals set a new record for goals scored by a single U.S. player at an Olympic Tournament. The Olympic win also marked the start of significant changes for the national team as it was the final competitive international match for veteran players Mia Hamm, Joy Fawcett and Julie Foudy, who had played with the team since the first Women's World Cup in 1991. On the significance of the win, Wambach said, "It's the least we can do for the women who have meant so much to us."  At the end of 2004, Wambach had scored international 31 goals and 13 assists in 30 matches for the national team. She finished fourth in voting for the FIFA Women's World Player of the Year.  After the Athens Olympics, Wambach continued as a major contributor to the national team, scoring goals during the 2005 Algarve Cup and a number of exhibition games. During group play at the Algarve Cup, one of her goals helped the U.S. squad set a record for the largest goal margin in an Algarve Cup match after their 5-0 win over Denmark. At the end of 2006, Wambach had scored 66 goals in 84 international matches, scoring more goals in fewer games than any player since Michelle Akers.

Bakgrund: Född i Rochester, New York, växte Wambach upp i Rochesterförorten Pittsford. Hon är yngst av sju syskon (med två systrar och fyra bröder) födda till Pete och Judy Wambach. Hon började spela fotboll vid fyra års ålder efter att hennes syster bestämt sig för att prova sporten. Deras mamma kollade in en bok från biblioteket som förklarade hur man spelar spelet, och från och med då blev fotboll en del av deras familjetradition. Sammanhang: Efter att WUSA avbröt verksamheten 2003 tränade Wambach med landslaget inför sommar-OS 2004 i Aten, Grekland. Under USA:s två första matcher i Aten spelade hon en direkt roll i fyra av de fem mål som laget gjorde vilket resulterade i segrar över Grekland och Brasilien. Under lagets första gruppspelsmatch mot Grekland den 11 augusti 2004 gjorde Wambach mål under den 30:e minuten för att upphöja amerikanerna till en 2-0-ledning. Hon fick sitt första gula kort av turneringen i den 49:e minuten. Mia Hamm följde med ett mål i den 82:a minuten för ett slutresultat på 3-0. USA mötte Brasilien under sin andra match av turneringen den 14 augusti. Wambach fick sitt andra gula kort av turneringen i den 49:e minuten, vilket gav henne en automatisk avstängning inför den sista gruppspelsmatchen mot Australien. Efter att Hamm gjort mål på en straffspark i den 58:e minuten förseglade Wambach vinsten med ett mål i den 77:e. Efter att ha gått vidare till kvartsfinal efter en 1–1 oavgjord mot Australien i den sista gruppspelsmatchen ställdes amerikanerna inför Japan den 20 augusti. Wambachs mål i den 59:e minuten lyfte amerikanerna till en 2–1-seger. Efter att ha besegrat Tyskland på övertid under semifinalen ställdes USA för andra gången mot Brasilien i OS-finalen. Wambachs 10-yardshuvud i 112:e minuten utanför en hörnspark från Kristine Lilly gav USA en 2-1-seger och guldmedaljvinst. Hennes sista-minuten-mål hyllades som ett av de fem största målen i USA:s damlandslagshistoria av ESPN 2011. Wambach avslutade turneringen med fyra mål och en assist. Hennes fyra mål satte nytt rekord för gjorda mål av en enda amerikansk spelare vid en olympisk turnering. OS-vinsten markerade också starten på betydande förändringar för landslaget då det var den sista tävlingslandskampsmatchen för veteranspelarna Mia Hamm, Joy Fawcett och Julie Foudy, som hade spelat med laget sedan det första dam-VM 1991. Om vinstens betydelse sade Wambach: "Det är det minsta vi kan göra för de kvinnor som har betytt så mycket för oss." I slutet av 2004 hade Wambach gjort internationella 31 mål och 13 assist på 30 matcher för landslaget. Hon slutade på fjärde plats i att rösta på Fifa Women's World Player of the Year. Efter OS i Aten fortsatte Wambach som en stor bidragsgivare till landslaget, målskytte under Algarve Cup 2005 och ett antal utställningsspel. Under gruppspel i Algarve Cup hjälpte ett av hennes mål USA:s trupp till att sätta rekord för den största målmarginalen i en Algarve Cup-match efter deras 5-0-vinst över Danmark. I slutet av 2006 hade Wambach gjort 66 mål på 84 internationella matcher, och gjort fler mål på färre matcher än någon spelare sedan Michelle Akers. Hon var en av tjugo spelare nominerade till 2006 års FIFA Women's World Player of the Year och slutade på fjärde plats i omröstningen om priset. CANNOTANSWER Fråga: Varför var detta mål viktigt?
