Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson believes superstar attacker Caitlin Foord is only now starting to get the recognition she deserves after brilliantly steering Australia to a hard-fought 2-0 win over hard-pressing Mexico.
Arsenal dynamo Foord teed up Hayley Raso to open the scoring in the ninth minute then netted a wonderful curling effort herself in the 52nd at Toyota Field in San Antonio, Texas.
It was another big showing from Foord, who has typically played second fiddle to injured skipper Sam Kerr.
