Two Matildas have simply slipped over at the Adelaide Oval turf — first Mackenzie Arnold as she attempted to unclouded a ball, next Clare Wheeler who attempted to stretch for a very simple move however the grass got here out from underneath her.
Australia have seemed somewhat unsettled in those early mins. China are very compact off the ball and forcing the Matildas to in reality play games and tale some smart, speedy passes in combination, however the Aussies haven’t somewhat discovered their rhythm but.
They’re again in ownership now, with the again 3 of Kennedy, Hunt, and Torpey protecting the ball for lengthy sessions, with China no longer budging or seeking to press. They’re looking forward to the Aussies to ping the ball into the ocean of pink, in order that China can next pounce and win ownership again, which they’ve accomplished a couple of occasions already.
