00:00 This broadcast on Optus Sport brought to you by Qantas.
00:04 Proudly flying to over 95 destinations worldwide.
00:09 (upbeat music)
00:12 - Catley again, this one more pace.
00:18 To the back post, free head up.
00:20 (crowd cheering)
00:22 Well, a good chance for the Matildas.
00:28 The first real chance of the evening.
00:32 As she went to ground.
00:33 Here come the Matildas.
00:36 Courtney Vine.
00:37 So quick, into the dangerous area.
00:41 Side netting from Caitlin Ford.
00:45 And now, Gorry hits one.
00:53 She does have a great catalog of long range goals.
00:58 To her name, Katrina Gorry, with Catley again.
01:01 They just can't get any forward momentum though.
01:04 There's always a green shirt.
01:06 Every which way they turn.
01:10 Now, oh, there's been contact in the area.
01:12 Penalty!
01:13 (crowd cheering)
01:14 Penalty, says the referee.
01:16 And Catley scores!
01:26 And sends the majority of the 80,000 plus
01:29 inside Stadium Australia into rapture.
01:31 In the Matildas' favor, as Gorry has robbed Littlejohn.
01:36 Katrina Gorry, still going, hits it.
01:38 Oh, and it's blocked by Quinn.
01:41 And it looked good off the boot
01:43 from Katrina Gorry on that occasion.
01:45 Catley.
01:51 Drives the ball in, glancing head up.
01:56 Across the face of goal.
01:57 McCabe's ball in, near post.
02:05 Oh, Mackenzie Arnold!
02:07 Flapping at it.
02:09 And a free kick, says the referee.
02:12 Well, it was a dangerous ball in from McCabe.
02:17 - It's a beautiful ball in,
02:19 and Arnold under a ton of pressure
02:22 from the Irish attackers there.
02:23 Does really well with the single left-handed punch.
02:26 Hasn't had a lot to do.
02:27 - Back 12 yards from the byline.
02:31 In it comes, again, dangerous.
02:34 And Mackenzie Arnold, buffeted.
02:37 But not broken, she holds on.
02:40 She was knocked to the ground,
02:44 but I think it was the feet that were stepping
02:48 all around in there.
02:50 (crowd cheering)
02:52 Megan Connolly, who's got three goals in qualifying,
02:59 steps up!
03:00 I think it just took a little touch
03:03 off the wall on the way through.
03:04 That's what the Irish players are saying.
03:06 Keeps it alive, with pain.
03:11 Oh, Gorry can't get there.
03:13 Larkin, she's in behind here.
03:14 Two to aim for in the middle.
03:16 It's with McCabe, who fires!
03:18 Harned away by Mackenzie Arnold!
03:20 And Polkinghorne completes the clearance.
03:24 (upbeat music)
03:27 (upbeat music)
