Rising star Fowler bags five goals as Young Matildas smash Nepal

The Young Matildas have claimed a comprehensive 11-1 win over Nepal to kick off their second round of qualifying for the 2019 AFC U-19 Women's Championship.

Talented young attacker Mary Fowler scored five of Australia's 11 goals and claimed her hat-trick after just 15 minutes in Myanmar.

Fowler, still just 16, has already featured for the senior Matildas side multiple times and even turned down a call-up last year as she opted to instead train with a former sprint coach of Cristiano Ronaldo.
