Australia 3-1 Brazil: women’s football-friendly-as happened | Football

A win for the matildos.

88 minutes: The set does nothing, and Grant continues well as he drives Brazil back to his own half.

87 min: Chaos in the Australian box after throwing a Brazilian free kick into the mixer. Two cries for handball, the Brazilian drops under pressure and the result is an angle.

85 min: Yeah! Kennedy leads a harmless ball that should have belonged to Williams, and the goalkeeper lives in his possession, and he is almost robbed of his six-yard box. There are pretty clear topics in the post-match review.

83 minutes: Australia continues to put pressure on Carpenter to have acres of space. The ball over the edge of the penalty area shouts a strike, but no one takes possession until Brazil has lowered it and Ricochet spins out of Fowler.

81 minutes: It wasn’t Kerr’s best input in building this goal, but it was creative and followed a great interaction with Fowler. Something exciting building blocks in the front third will come true. Now it just needs grafting into a shattered defensive third.

Great Catley, chases after taking advantage of Kerr’s pass and pulling the ball back to the far post, where Emily van Egmond is on the sidelines. It should seal things to Matildo.

77 minutes: Kerr waves Catley’s corner, but Australia can’t do anything from another ball.

73 minutes: Ooooh. Polkinghorne can get out of prison there. Again, Australia will be in possession of the ball over the back quarter, but this time when Geyse has hit the ball away, he will be penalized for a mistake. Matildas central defenders do not inspire confidence.

72 minutes: It is end to end in Parramatta. Martha’s first touch is magical, opening the last third for Brazil, but the withdrawal of the bylin finds a congested box and Australia is clear. Not only that, Kerr is right in space, too much when it happens and he is isolated.

70 minutes: Now comes Marta and Debinha. Fun 20 minutes coming.

Brazil immediately back, and that is another defensive accident. Kennedy hasn’t watched the races for much of the night, and he gets the ball tied to his feet as Matildas tried to play over the four backs to find the ball out. Instead, Adriana picked up Kennedy’s pocket, left to grab a wet turn, and calmly chose her seat. Williams could do nothing.

Another target for dynamite Mary Fowler, but it’s smelly for Brazil. The irresistible throw on the left gives EvE the whole world a chance to focus. He floats on his right foot over the ball’s penalty point from a distance and it goes over static defense, Leticia doesn’t like it and no one follows Fowler’s run, so he just bends over and nods home with a simple finish.

65 minutes: Add nice ball movement from Matildas, dragging the ball over the greasy lawn with speed, sending it in and out of the middle third to create space for the Foord. Australia’s development between the third has been good.

63 minutes: Finally, a decent cross from a wide area, and it faces the forehead of a progressive Van Egmond, but it lacks strength and is directly with the Brazilian goalkeeper.

62 minutes: The rain I mentioned might rain earlier, well, it’s here, and it can get wild.

61 minutes: Another diagonal switch to the Foord, and he moves to the right again, but this time he is displaced.

59 minutes: Yallop does an excellent ban on Geyse in the box. Brazil threatened to break the right ones quickly, but then the ideas ran out of the box. Geyse reacted by then tearing Yallop when Matilda broke and landing on a dirty reducer after Australia left. Oops. It was naughty. An easy yellow card decision for a judge.

58 minutes: The Matildas are now much happier in control and tempo, and they choose their moments to play between the lines. Patience is almost rewarded when Fowler feeds Kerr, but the backward movie is intercepted.

55 min: A wonderful game switch from right to left opens up space for the Foord. He cuts out of the touch line and shoots with his right foot, but directly towards the goalkeeper. A wonderful ball from Cooney-Cross in construction.

53 minutes: Another promising move that is reflected in a bad last ball. This time, one of the two with Ford sends Catley in the steam along the left channel, but he couldn’t pick a killer passport.

50 minutes: The Australian press is a serious weapon and the commitment of Fowler, Yallop, Kerr and others draws Brazil deeply into its own half. This trio combines after turnover, but the cross is bad, as has been the case all night so far.

48 minutes: Great football from Brazil, through the Australian front press and getting the ball to Adriana, who cuts right and shoots straight into Williams! It was a golden opportunity at the end of a beautiful movement. Australia tried to play offside, but Adriana kicked the trap perfectly. Good rescue, but again worrying signs for Australia in transition.

46 minutes: The second half is underway and will start with Emily van Egmond in midfield instead of Kiyah Simon.

Lots of promising signs for Australia this half. Lots of momentum, playing between the lines crispy, getting the ball in dangerous areas for Catley and Carpenter. A calming of the last third would be welcome, but Brazil has defended the central areas intelligently.

There seems to be a compromise in this group of players that there is a counterweight to all positivity going forward in defense. Matilda was caught repeatedly in the transition and Brazil almost benefited on several occasions with balls on a flat four-legged back and back.

However, I accept it as a compromise, given the potential impact of the outlook if it snaps. Saffigna sends an email: “Don’t slow it down. The rate of transition keeps Brazil under pressure. Cooney-Cross just needs to retreat more often. “

Michael Witherfod adds: “I’m not sure Brazil would have participated in many matches against teams that push straight up and put pressure on their defense. It takes them away from their gentle ordeal. ”

Speaking purely neutral – international Friendlies were played purely in the middle third; no thanks.

This Clare Polkinghorne strike separates both parties at half-time from a very willing, pleasantly faster kindness.

45 + 2 minutes: This time, Carpenter gets on the wrong side of the Brazilian attack and he admits a professional error 10 meters from the box. The blue shirt wins the ball sent to the mixer, but it doesn’t require much savings from Williams.

44 minutes: Australia still seems vulnerable in the defensive phase as Brazil opposes at speed. Kennedy has been flat-legged a few times, and he has to rob again to get to the corner.

40 minutes: It was a really well executed routine. Brazil have defended well in these areas, but Kerr found the space and slowly softened the goal.

Free kick in a dangerous area of ​​Australia just outside the box. Catley throws it towards the penalty point, Kerr peels the mark and nods it over a six-yard box where Polkinghorne is free to knock home. Easy than ABC.

36 min: Foord ragdolls Bruninha to the other side after the Brazilian crossed the mark by herding. Of course, the attacker is penalized under the circumstances, despite the fact that he is the only player aiming for the ball.

34 minutes: On television, Georgia Yeoman-Dale demands a steady presence at the foot of midfield to control the tempo. I greatly disagree. Australia is considered the most dangerous when the pace is high and playing staccato. It’s perfect for Kerr and Yallop’s movement and Fowler’s improvisation. The slower the game, the more Brazil can retreat into its structures, which are clearly drilled.
