00:00scored 11 goals in 2022 in the calendar year equaling her best ever return of the Matilda's
00:19revival of the last four months
00:22We know how important she is, Toni Gustafsson spoke about that
00:36A stunning second half and four in the middle being joined now by Primus
00:42The ball finds Primus across the middle
00:47Zamband just moved to Paris Saint-Germain on loan for the rest of the European season
00:51There's that cross, now with Kerr
00:54Those two love to combine, find those passes over the top from Gorrie for Nevin
01:02She's up against a tricky customer in Jodie Brown who's got 14 international goals
01:06That's a nice pass for Spence, across the face and claimed by Mackenzie Arnold
01:11She's made six saves in the WSL in England and she plays for Manchester City as that's
01:18a lovely pass from Crummer, flag up against Ford
01:26Let's head down for Arsenal this season as Jodie Brown releases McKenna
01:31Down the left-hand side, the cross, oh missed by Falkenhayn
01:34Now Brown
01:36Just 20 years of age, that's a brilliant pass for McKenna
01:43With Blackwood, looks up at crosses, it's a good ball towards Primus
01:49Can't direct it on target and I think there's two Matildas have collided at the back there
01:54Catley and Falkenhayn and both have stayed down
01:59You never want to see two players take to the turf like that and especially not these two
02:04The ball in was delightful from Primus
02:08Relatively unmarked in the middle, so it was Primus the target
02:15And the second goal against Czechia as Gorrie's pass is straight down the middle
02:24There's the yellow card, confirmation for Katrina Gorrie, here she is, hitting that!
02:28Oh, the yellow card won't matter one little bit
02:33Katrina Gorrie, she has been fired up for this one since the opening minute
02:39And she's fired the Matildas in front
02:46Well it's been a superb start for Katrina Gorrie and what a response from that moment
02:54That fuelled her into what we know Katrina Gorrie is so threatening in
02:59And from this distance, a first time shot, she has powered that one home
03:04The celebration as well, you can see what that means to her, a brilliant strike from Gorrie
03:12Well the lesson here, don't make Katrina Gorrie angry
03:17Because that's what she's capable of of course, Matildas fans know that she's got that in the locker
03:24Maya Swayve and the referee has immediately called a halt to proceedings
03:30For what looks like an injury to Denisha Blackwood, was that the ball in the face?
03:37That was a near close run
03:42Katrina Gorrie comes across the board
03:47And now Gorrie again, Katrina Gorrie this time on the left foot
03:51Cooney Cross, it's a fantastic run, this is what she's done so brilliantly, finds Sam Kerr now
03:58She wanted it onto the right boot and she's closed down
04:01Just perhaps lacked a little bit of pace, the final ball from Cooney Cross
04:05Closed down by something of a tone set up in those first two matches as well as Crummer
04:10Fighting back, loses out to Blackwood
04:13Who just sucked Chantel Swayve into the challenge there
04:16And now towards the back post, Vine is there, Ford as well
04:21And between them
04:23Alison Swayve and Drew Spence just managed to get the ball clear
04:27Throwing themselves into every challenge
04:29A little bit of space for McKenna to run into
04:32Just before half time
04:34And it's a great save by Mackenzie Arnold, best of the night so far for the Australian Shotstopper
04:42And I wonder if that one wasn't perhaps set up before the match as here's Primus
04:47Advancing on where he's coming from
04:50Uses Van Zanten as a runner, looks up and crosses
04:53Grant's head up, and now Blackwood
04:56Letting fly from distance with the left foot
05:01Grant, into Gorry, this is nicely done
05:04Here's Chidiak who turns one way, then the other
05:07And Chidiak scores!
05:11Well she loves getting in those central positions
05:15It's been a long time between drinks for Alex Chidiak
05:19But a second international goal
05:22Has arrived in Newcastle
05:25And the Matildas lead Jamaica 2-0
05:31Well that is dazzling from Alex Chidiak
05:34You come to expect nothing less from a player of her quality
05:37She had work to do on this
05:40But given minutes, that's the kind of quality that Alex Chidiak can produce
05:45And what a finish that is on her left foot
05:49What an introduction to the game that is for Alex Chidiak
05:56And the other goal came against Thailand back in 2018
06:03She did that brilliantly, taking it away from
06:06Here is Vine again
06:08Chidiak, scooping it up over the top for Gorry
06:12The cross back in towards Kerr for Caitlin Ford
06:15Was looking for the options, looking for Sam Kerr basically
06:18And now Gorry hits one again from distance
06:20There's Tarnall, playing a game of chicken
06:24With Matthews
06:25Now, Courtney Vine
06:29Just skewing the shot off the top of the laces
06:33And behind
06:37Well that opened up kindly for Courtney Vine
06:41And if you're playing football with your club
06:43As here comes Caitlin Ford again
06:46Who hits it, wonderful!
06:48What a strike from Caitlin Ford
06:51A little 1-2 on the edge of the box
06:55She lets fly, easy as you like
06:593-0
07:05Caitlin Ford, that is outrageous
07:08What a finish
07:11Just that one touch football
07:13Her proactive movement off the ball
07:15But to hit that first time
07:17Nudge the inside post and find its way to the back of the net
07:21That is a delightful finish from Caitlin Ford
07:256 goals in 8 matches now
07:28For Caitlin Ford
07:31And that's 7
07:33In the last 8
07:35Oh, you don't want to concede a goal
07:38Having just scored at the other end
07:40Matthews
07:41Gets it onto the right boot
07:432-on-2 here, she's got Matthews in support
07:45Great turn of pace from Washington
07:47Who's still going, Grant!
07:49Brilliantly across in cover
07:52Well that was a real foot race
07:56At some point she's going to get a shot for herself here, Sam Kerr
07:59And it may come now, the shot!
08:01Stings the palms of Becky Spencer
08:05Here's Kerr
08:06The cutback, oh, towards Vine
08:09Alison Swaby has to be careful
08:11It might yet fall
08:12Ford, denied!
08:14Brilliant stop
08:18Oh, the Matildas want something more
08:21From the referee
08:26No penalty
08:27Caitlin Ford saying have a look at this
08:30Will Cantley be looking to deliver it in there?
08:32She goes right into that area
08:34The ball bouncing around again
08:36Tonight, pleasing to see
08:39We are with an opportunity
08:41Now Brown, who accelerates brilliantly
08:45And another fine save from Mackenzie Arnold
08:47She's had precious little to do in this second half
08:50And there, with just three minutes left to play
08:54Great concert
08:56Taking on Chidiak down the right hand side
08:58She gets the cross in, she's done well
09:06And now, Washington accelerates
09:09She's also, for so long
09:13Makes her return to action
09:14Sam Kerr
09:17Alex Chidiak
09:22That's right, Chidiak
09:24Provided the icing on the cake
09:27This evening
09:29Off the bench and onto the score sheet
09:31For her second
