00:00scored 11 goals in 2022 in the calendar year equaling her best ever return of the Matilda's

00:19revival of the last four months

00:22We know how important she is, Toni Gustafsson spoke about that

00:36A stunning second half and four in the middle being joined now by Primus

00:42The ball finds Primus across the middle

00:47Zamband just moved to Paris Saint-Germain on loan for the rest of the European season

00:51There's that cross, now with Kerr

00:54Those two love to combine, find those passes over the top from Gorrie for Nevin

01:02She's up against a tricky customer in Jodie Brown who's got 14 international goals

01:06That's a nice pass for Spence, across the face and claimed by Mackenzie Arnold

01:11She's made six saves in the WSL in England and she plays for Manchester City as that's

01:18a lovely pass from Crummer, flag up against Ford

01:26Let's head down for Arsenal this season as Jodie Brown releases McKenna

01:31Down the left-hand side, the cross, oh missed by Falkenhayn

01:34Now Brown

01:36Just 20 years of age, that's a brilliant pass for McKenna

01:43With Blackwood, looks up at crosses, it's a good ball towards Primus

01:49Can't direct it on target and I think there's two Matildas have collided at the back there

01:54Catley and Falkenhayn and both have stayed down

01:59You never want to see two players take to the turf like that and especially not these two

02:04The ball in was delightful from Primus

02:08Relatively unmarked in the middle, so it was Primus the target

02:15And the second goal against Czechia as Gorrie's pass is straight down the middle

02:24There's the yellow card, confirmation for Katrina Gorrie, here she is, hitting that!

02:28Oh, the yellow card won't matter one little bit

02:33Katrina Gorrie, she has been fired up for this one since the opening minute

02:39And she's fired the Matildas in front

02:46Well it's been a superb start for Katrina Gorrie and what a response from that moment

02:54That fuelled her into what we know Katrina Gorrie is so threatening in

02:59And from this distance, a first time shot, she has powered that one home

03:04The celebration as well, you can see what that means to her, a brilliant strike from Gorrie

03:12Well the lesson here, don't make Katrina Gorrie angry

03:17Because that's what she's capable of of course, Matildas fans know that she's got that in the locker

03:24Maya Swayve and the referee has immediately called a halt to proceedings

03:30For what looks like an injury to Denisha Blackwood, was that the ball in the face?

03:37That was a near close run

03:42Katrina Gorrie comes across the board

03:47And now Gorrie again, Katrina Gorrie this time on the left foot

03:51Cooney Cross, it's a fantastic run, this is what she's done so brilliantly, finds Sam Kerr now

03:58She wanted it onto the right boot and she's closed down

04:01Just perhaps lacked a little bit of pace, the final ball from Cooney Cross

04:05Closed down by something of a tone set up in those first two matches as well as Crummer

04:10Fighting back, loses out to Blackwood

04:13Who just sucked Chantel Swayve into the challenge there

04:16And now towards the back post, Vine is there, Ford as well

04:21And between them

04:23Alison Swayve and Drew Spence just managed to get the ball clear

04:27Throwing themselves into every challenge

04:29A little bit of space for McKenna to run into

04:32Just before half time

04:34And it's a great save by Mackenzie Arnold, best of the night so far for the Australian Shotstopper

04:42And I wonder if that one wasn't perhaps set up before the match as here's Primus

04:47Advancing on where he's coming from

04:50Uses Van Zanten as a runner, looks up and crosses

04:53Grant's head up, and now Blackwood

04:56Letting fly from distance with the left foot

05:01Grant, into Gorry, this is nicely done

05:04Here's Chidiak who turns one way, then the other

05:07And Chidiak scores!

05:11Well she loves getting in those central positions

05:15It's been a long time between drinks for Alex Chidiak

05:19But a second international goal

05:22Has arrived in Newcastle

05:25And the Matildas lead Jamaica 2-0

05:31Well that is dazzling from Alex Chidiak

05:34You come to expect nothing less from a player of her quality

05:37She had work to do on this

05:40But given minutes, that's the kind of quality that Alex Chidiak can produce

05:45And what a finish that is on her left foot

05:49What an introduction to the game that is for Alex Chidiak

05:56And the other goal came against Thailand back in 2018

06:03She did that brilliantly, taking it away from

06:06Here is Vine again

06:08Chidiak, scooping it up over the top for Gorry

06:12The cross back in towards Kerr for Caitlin Ford

06:15Was looking for the options, looking for Sam Kerr basically

06:18And now Gorry hits one again from distance

06:20There's Tarnall, playing a game of chicken

06:24With Matthews

06:25Now, Courtney Vine

06:29Just skewing the shot off the top of the laces

06:33And behind

06:37Well that opened up kindly for Courtney Vine

06:41And if you're playing football with your club

06:43As here comes Caitlin Ford again

06:46Who hits it, wonderful!

06:48What a strike from Caitlin Ford

06:51A little 1-2 on the edge of the box

06:55She lets fly, easy as you like

06:593-0

07:05Caitlin Ford, that is outrageous

07:08What a finish

07:11Just that one touch football

07:13Her proactive movement off the ball

07:15But to hit that first time

07:17Nudge the inside post and find its way to the back of the net

07:21That is a delightful finish from Caitlin Ford

07:256 goals in 8 matches now

07:28For Caitlin Ford

07:31And that's 7

07:33In the last 8

07:35Oh, you don't want to concede a goal

07:38Having just scored at the other end

07:40Matthews

07:41Gets it onto the right boot

07:432-on-2 here, she's got Matthews in support

07:45Great turn of pace from Washington

07:47Who's still going, Grant!

07:49Brilliantly across in cover

07:52Well that was a real foot race

07:56At some point she's going to get a shot for herself here, Sam Kerr

07:59And it may come now, the shot!

08:01Stings the palms of Becky Spencer

08:05Here's Kerr

08:06The cutback, oh, towards Vine

08:09Alison Swaby has to be careful

08:11It might yet fall

08:12Ford, denied!

08:14Brilliant stop

08:18Oh, the Matildas want something more

08:21From the referee

08:26No penalty

08:27Caitlin Ford saying have a look at this

08:30Will Cantley be looking to deliver it in there?

08:32She goes right into that area

08:34The ball bouncing around again

08:36Tonight, pleasing to see

08:39We are with an opportunity

08:41Now Brown, who accelerates brilliantly

08:45And another fine save from Mackenzie Arnold

08:47She's had precious little to do in this second half

08:50And there, with just three minutes left to play

08:54Great concert

08:56Taking on Chidiak down the right hand side

08:58She gets the cross in, she's done well

09:06And now, Washington accelerates

09:09She's also, for so long

09:13Makes her return to action

09:14Sam Kerr

09:17Alex Chidiak

09:22That's right, Chidiak

09:24Provided the icing on the cake

09:27This evening

09:29Off the bench and onto the score sheet

09:31For her second
