Emily van Egmond scores hat-trick in CampbelltownKyah Simon adds two with Hayley Raso also on target 10.36am GMT
That’s more than enough goals to send the Matildas back to the top of the group, ahead of
China on goal difference. It sets up quite an enticing final fixture on Thursday night between the two, who will both be fighting tooth and nail to finish top and, we assume, avoid South Korea.
This was a funny game. Zero goals for 43 minutes. Then two goals in four minutes just before halftime, and another four in six midway through the second half. It sort of epitomises the fact we saw both sides of the Matildas tonight, and those second-half subs to bring on Kerr and Raso helped matters markedly. 10.29am GMT
94 min: The very last play is very nearly a seventh goal for Australia as Carpenter directs a cross towards Kerr’s head. It’s a dangerous head for any goalkeeper contemplating its next move. But, somehow, Tiffany does, getting a glove to the top-corner effort with a brilliant leaping save. Full time.
