No matter what happened in Wednesday’s semifinal, history was going to be made one way or another inside Stadium Australia.
Neither Australia nor England had ever reached a Women’s World Cup final and it was the latter’s aspirations which were realized in the end. The Lionesses looked brilliant against the co-host and fully deserved their 3-1 victory, setting up a title-deciding clash against Spain in the process. Although reaching a World Cup final was new ground for all the England players, it was familiar territory for their head coach.
While England will rightly attract the majority of attention for its record-breaking achievement, the Australian team will be proud of the part it played. The Matildas have inspired a new generation of soccer fans with their run at the tournament and the players gave all they had against England. The game will always be remembered for Sam Kerr’s stunning equalizer but also for the atmosphere generated by over 75,000 people inside the stadium.
