'Huge scalp!' Foord shines as Aussies thump world No.2 Sweden (The Roar)

Caitlin Foord has been the star of the show as the Matildas took out a convincing 4-0 victory against Sweden in the Women's International Friendly on ...

She was able to kick the ball past them toward the goals but Musovic once again spoiled the party. There was a short break in play when Stephanie Catley copped an accidental poke in the eye from Sweden’s Stina Blackstenius. “She had two defenders, really tight to her but the run and the timing were excellent, Hayley Raso did really well to hold onto that ball for long enough.” It was a historic victory for Australia against the world’s number two side, and a great confidence boost on the road to the upcoming World Cup. A foul by Sweden in just the second minute gifted Australia an early corner, but Katrina Gorry couldn’t find the mark. I am just enjoying myself at the moment and enjoying my football, and I guess when we come home we want to take every opportunity to make the most of it.
