CommBank Matildas v Philippines Key Moments AFC Women s Olympic Qualifier

Oh, lovely run from Carpenter outside. The cutback. And now Fowler. 15 minutes on the clock. And the Matildas have their early goal. And it's Mary Fowler. She is such a crowd favourite. She's done well. Skipping past Bonta into the area. Randall trying to go with her. The cutback for Kerr. And that's two. The hometown hero taking the roof off the stadium at Optus. The Matildas lead the Philippines by two goals to nil. And it's a good one for Kerr who can control. And that's three. Inside the opening half an hour, Caitlin Ford. Razo with space to run into again for Caitlin Ford. Lovely control. 4-0. The Matildas are running them up at Optus Stadium. Under pressure from Bolden. Manny Razo a little bit fortunate perhaps. Oh, here goes Sam Kerr. Threw on goal. Kerr blasts it into the roof of the net. And did she enjoy that? Did the crowd enjoy that? Australia's all-time leading goalscorer, Polish, on a remarkable first half performance here at Optus. We are all set. Second half is underway. We've had two changes. Which we will bring you momentarily in the Filipino line-up with Barca and Matarang making their appearance on the pitch. But it will probably take a little bit more than that great skill for the Philippines to try and turn this one around. They have an absolute mountain to climb. And the Matildas have just made the perfect start to the second half. 25 seconds on the clock. Here's Fowler. Fowler running at Barca. Fowler still. Mary Fowler. One way then the other. She put two defenders on the ground before just losing her footing herself. Caitlin Ford takes over. Still going. What a run! Brilliant individual goal. Just keep coming at Optus. Australia 7. Philippines still. There might be more goals yet to come. Carpenter. Little touch. Wheeler. Trying it! Her first ever international strike. And it's one for the picture book. Brilliant strike from the edge of the area. And each goal is better than that that preceded it.
