Preamble

Well the moment has finally arrived! After patiently waiting through the first two days of competition, Matildas fans finally get the chance to see their team in action. It’s unlikely to be an easy match for the Australians, coming up against Italy who are currently ranked 15th in the world. While the Matildas are comfortably ahead with their world number 6 ranking, Italy have had some strong results lately with comfortable wins over Hungary and Thailand in March.

It’s sure to be a big one, so stay with me as I take you through the build up, then hand over to our intrepid reporter Kieran Pender for the pre-match and the game itself.
