Coach Joe Montemurro has bemoaned the Matildas' bad decision-making in a shock 1-0 added-time loss to Mexico on home soil.
A disjointed Matildas side fluffed their lines in front of goal at McDonald Jones Stadium, while Alice Soto threaded the ball beautifully to help Diana Ordonez nab the match-winner.
World rankings would have suggested victory was a lock for a full-strength Matildas outfit, with Montemurro welcoming Steph Catley, Emily van Egmond, Mary Fowler and Ellie Carpenter back to the starting line-up for the 15th-ranked side on Saturday night.
But none of Australia's established stars could find the match-winner from 19 shots at goal to world No.28 Mexico's 12 in front of 23,167 fans.
It was the Matildas' first game on home soil since their 1-0 Asian Cup final loss to Japan in March, having pulled off a clean sweep of their FIFA Series matches against Malawi and Kenya in April.
