Australia topped their Cup of Nations group on Sunday after beating Spain 3-2, with Manchester City's Hayley Raso playing a key role in the win.
It was an incredible display from Australia against the top-ranked side in the tournament and the team ranked seventh in the world. Raso’s pace caused Spain all sorts of problems and she was part of a counter-attack that saw her cut inside from the right flank before delivering a cross that allowed Cortnee Vine to fire home with an incredible effort from outside the box to hand her side an 11th-minute lead.
Just minutes later the 28-year-old delivered a cross from the left which found Sam Kerr before Clare Polkinghorne pounced to double the lead. Raso very nearly had a hand in a third goal as she found Kyra Cooney-Cross in acres of space. Her cross was converted by Kerr but the header was disallowed for offside.
