The Matildas Bounce Back With 5-0 Win Over Chile

Foord teed up Sam Kerr’s opener before notching a quickfire double herself to rattle Australia’s South American opponents shortly after the half-time interval.

Substitute Emily Gielnik inked her name to the score-sheet before Foord added her third late on as Alen Stajcic’s side delivered the perfect response to Saturday’s defeat to Chile in Penrith.

Stajcic fielded three personnel changes from that 3-2 loss to Las Chicas de Rojo. Mackenzie Arnold and Alanna Kennedy came in for Lydia Williams and Laura Alleway respectively, while Gema Simon’s inclusion at left-back saw Elise Kellond-Knight deployed in midfield.

As they did in Penrith, the Westfield Matildas started with purpose and precision but found it tough to crack open a well-organized and calculated Chile defense.
