Australia vs Scotland
By: Yash Thakur
Host nation Australia were up against Scotland to test their mettle before the home tournament. The Matildas benched some key players in order to test squad depth according to manager Tony Gustavsson, meant Sam Kerr didn?t feature in the game. Scotland came out with the intention to cause problems and succeeded in terms of the scoreline, winning the game 1-0 thanks to an early second half goal strike by Nicola Docherty. Matildas pushed for the equalizer which never came.
Scotland lined up in a 4-2-3-1 handing a debut to 17-year-old Emma Watson. Real Madrid?s Caroline Weir partnered Sam Kerr in the double pivot as Marta Thomas lead the line. Australia, on the other hand, were in a 4-3-3 with Larissa Crummer given the opportunity to lead the line. Lyon?s Ellie Carpenter made her return to the Matildas lineup after a 360 day gap due to ACL injury.
