After two convincing wins over South Africa and Denmark in October, the Matildas' slowly building momentum towards next year's Women's World Cup has gathered pace with an historic 4-0 thumping of world number two Sweden in Melbourne.
It was Australia's first victory over the Olympic silver medallists since 1997: an entire generation of players removed from this current crop, including four starting players who had not yet even been born. It's also the biggest winning margin the Matildas have recorded against a top-five nation in their history.
