Women’s World Cup: Australia prevail over Equatorial Guinea, 3-2

The Matildas overcame Gyoengyi Gall’s bizzare non penalty call (sure to be a You Tube classic) and two horrendous pieces of defending by Servet Uzunlar whose first name maybe apt in the manner she gifted Genoveva Anonman a brace of goals. Leena Khamis and Emily Van Egmond reversed roles of provider and finisher in the first two goals and Lisa De Vanna off the bench scored the decisive third goal.
Equatorial Guinea bow out of the World Cup but they’ve got some real talent and big heart. We’re most likely to see them back. Anonman was obviously the pick. Australia are now in a tight contest with Norway for the second spot as the Scandinavians went down hard against Marta and her brilliance in the second Group D encounter with Brazil.
