The Australian Women’s Futsal Team have secured a position in the semi-finals after another two wins yesterday.

GAME TWO MATCH REPORT

Their second game of the tournament against Foshan was a convincing win. The game started with much excitement with both teams breaking into counter-attacks.

Renee Tomkins was first to start the flow of goals after a flurry of sharp passing, creating a one on one with the Foshan goalkeeper and technically slotting the ball into the bottom right corner. After some excellent individual work, Renee went on to score a second goal shortly after.

Australia took control of the game and looked in great form with further goals from Jasmin Kent, Natalie Spirovski, Jade Banks and a double from Sam McGraw.

With some calculated attack by Foshan, they were able to get one goal back before half time.

The second half was a lot more competitive with only two goals being scored for Australia by Nicola Eagle and Beejay Alpozgen.
