With Australia coming into the game on the back of three straight defeats, it's safe to say their supporters certainly played a part in helping them get back on track.Ī shout out also to Brazil's fans, who certainly made themselves heard throughout the contest.Īfter months of lockdown, there's nothing quite like watching live football again. You couldn't blame the Matildas for getting lost in the moment at times with a vocal home crowd welcoming them home with open arms and loudly cheering on every incursion forward. While it would eventually come through Clare Polkinghorne, they did ride their luck in defence numerous times with Lydia Williams making a great save early in the second half. Tony Gustavsson's decision to play with three at the back left Australia vulnerable as Matildas often poured forward in search of a celebratory goal.

Playing at home again, the Matildas were clearly pumped up for this game and were nearly caught out early with Alanna Kennedy lucky not to see red after stopping a Brazil break. Fired up Matildas ride their luck as home crowd plays their part In an entertaining clash from start to finish, a crowd of 15,000 relished every minute as the Matildas produced in front of goal but remained vulnerable at the back.Įlsewhere, Network 10's coverage earned some big praise and a concussion incident needed to be dealt with better. It was a successful return to Australia for the Matildas as they claimed a 3-1 win over Brazil on Saturday night.
