Matildas Shine Against Chinese Taipei


The Australian women's national football team, the Matildas, secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Chinese Taipei in a friendly match held at AAMI Park in Melbourne. This win marked a significant milestone for the team under interim coach Tom Sermanni, who has been emphasizing the need to build depth and future-proof the squad.

Sermanni's strategy of giving opportunities to new and inexperienced players paid off, as Natasha Prior, Sharn Freier, and Bryleeh Henry all scored their first goals for the Matildas. Prior and Freier gave Australia an early 2-0 lead within the first 12 minutes, setting the tone for the match.

The match was part of Sermanni's plan to expand the competition within the national team setup, a move that was seen as a critique of his predecessor Tony Gustavsson's approach. Gustavsson had been criticized for not utilizing enough players during his tenure, particularly during the 2023 World Cup.

Veteran midfielder Emily van Egmond captained the team, leading by example as the Matildas dominated the game. The win was witnessed by a strong crowd of 26,795, indicating continued support for the team.
