Great save, one-handed fingertip stuff, from Chloe Lincoln to deny Riley Tanner a goal that looked on target, and would have levelled things up for Panama.
Tanner gets another long-range shot away from the resultant corner but it’s blocked and goes out, so they’ll have repeat corner kicks. Their second one coming up… it’s taken short, and Hayley Raso steals the ball off her. And Marta Cox doesn’t like it! She slides in dangerously to try and end Raso’s run after watching one of her teammates being dispossessed near the corner flag.
Meanwhile, the Matildas turn to the bench for the first time tonight. Alana Murphy and Jacinda Galabadaarachichi are coming on for Amy Sayer and Hayley Raso.
Great shift by Raso, she’s my player of the match at this stage, and it’s not particularly close.
Australia 2-1 Panama, 74 minutes
