Next week a major milestone arrives. Come Wednesday, the Matildas will have exactly 100 days before they kick off their Olympic campaign against Germany in Marseille on the day the 2024 Games are declared open. With the clock ticking, coach Tony Gustavsson’s team, led by a standout performance from Caitlin Foord, overcame a stiff test against Mexico to register a satisfactory 2-0 victory in San Antonio and keep preparations on track.
Foord was heavily involved in the opening goal, beautifully finished by Hayley Raso, before adding a second herself in a game of two halves in Texas that saw the Matildas largely stifled as an attacking force before enjoying a far more incisive performance after the break.
