Women's International Friendly News

Joe Montemurro's first four games as coach delivered a mixed bag of results. So what does this mean for the Matildas moving forward?

Charli Grant has saved the Matildas from further embarrassment, the defender bundling in a stoppage-time goal to lift Australia to a 3-2 victory over Panama at HBF Park in Perth.

Joe Montemurro has promised to ring in the changes yet again as his inexperienced Matildas attempt to bounce back to form in Tuesday night's rematch with Panama in Perth.

Veteran striker Michelle Heyman has fluffed a last-gasp chance to score the equaliser as the Matildas suffered a shock 1-0 loss to world No.56 Panama in Bunbury.

WASHINGTON -- Claire Hutton scored for the first time in her international career, and Sam Coffey and Yazmeen Ryan also contributed goals to lead the United States to a 3-0 win over Canada on Wednesday night.
