A brace from young midfielder Leticia McKenna, a debut goal for Daniela Galic, and further strikes from Caitlin Foord, Clare Wheeler and Holly McNamara helped the Matildas to a 7-1 win over world No 47 Haiti in both teams’ final October friendly in France.

Making her starting debut to bring up just her fourth cap for Australia, McKenna book-ended the first half with goals from midfield, powering a Wheeler cut-back into the roof of the net 80 seconds into the game before crashing her second in off a tackle just before half-time to finish her own attacking move.
