Australia 2-0 South Korea: women’s international football friendly – as it happened

But that’s about all from tonight, as the Matildas’ wrap up a successful April window with a 2-0 win over South Korea, making it two wins from two over the Taeguk Ladies.

Plenty of lessons were reiterated this window – Caitlin Foord is very good, as is Steph Catley and Mary Fowler, and Tameka Yallop is a warrior – but all eyes now turn to next month’s window and the associated home games against Argentina.

What role, if any, will Sam Kerr be able to play in that window? Will the Matildas finally have a new coach in the dugout for those games or, failing that, at least have one named? Will that effect the composition of the squad called up and how they look to set up? Questions for the future, no doubt.

Anyway, my name has been Joey Lynch and it’s been a pleasure to have your company this evening.

Updated

Can’t help but notice that Tara Rushton referenced Joe Montemurro as “the new coach of the Matildas” during the Paramount+ interview with Foord. Know something we don’t, Tara? 👀👀👀
