Feel like Pep is channelling somewhat of a predecessor tonight...
#IRNvAUS #WAC2026
A convincing, if frustrating, 4-0 victory for the Matildas against Iran in front of 22,398 fans at Robina Stadium on the Gold Coast / Kombumerri tonight. A brace for Alanna Kennedy as well as goals to Sayer and Fowler see the hosts take all three points.

FULL TIME
🇮🇷 Iran 0
🇦🇺 Australia 4 (Sayer 8' Fowler 27' Kennedy 35' 58')
#IRNvAUS #WAC2026
90'+11: SUB AUSTRALIA
OFF - Raso
ON - Heyman
🇮🇷 0-4 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
90'+8: Sayer with an awkward effort on Yazdani's goal but the keeper palms it wide.
Immediate concern for Raso in the aftermath as she cops another head knock, and that will likely be night done for the Frankfurt winger :(
🇮🇷 0-4 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
Ladies and gentlemen, I can barely believe it...
The fourth official has indicated a minimum of ELEVEN MINUTES time added on.
🇮🇷 0-4 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026

OFF - Ghanbari
ON - Anbari
🇮🇷 0-4 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
86': Another stoppage for Yazdani and Catley is immediately over to the fourth official to ask about stoppage time.
Did... did Steph just say there's 10 minutes coming??
🇮🇷 0-4 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
82': Long, LONG stoppage for Yazdani as she receives medical attention for a shoulder concern. Referee reading her the riot act about timewasting after the team doctors facilitate what could be considered a short nap.
🇮🇷 0-4 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
The stadium speakers ring out - 22,398 fans at Robina tonight! Well done, SE QLD!
🇮🇷 0-4 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
74': Real concern for Raso as Khosravi's clearance hits her straight in the face, and the referee immediately calls the Tillies medics onto the field.
Concussion substitution rules allow Raso to be replaced if necessary, but she looks to be alright to continue.

ON - Didar
🇮🇷 0-3 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
52': 🟨 YELLOW CARD AUSTRALIA
Charlie Rule with a 10/10 cynical foul near halfway - no complaints there!
Pasandideh has Lincoln second-guessing her far post in the follow-up, decent areas there from the Lionesses.
🇮🇷 0-3 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
46': PENALTY AUSTRALIA... or is it??
Khosravi controls the ball from her foot onto her forearm, and VAR says no dice!

OFF - Yektaei & Zolfi
ON - Yazdani & Khosravi
🇮🇷 0-3 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026

The Tillies get things underway, attacking the southern Station End in the second half.

ON- Pasandideh
🇮🇷 0-3 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026

🇮🇷 0-3 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
34': GOOOOAAAAL AUSTRALIA!
KERR BRINGS VAN EGMOND'S HEADER DOWN TO KENNEDY WHO SLAMS IT HOME!

🇮🇷 0-2 🇦🇺 #IRNvAUS #WAC2026
18': GOOOOAAAAL AU- NO! Kerr plays Foord into space behind the Iranian line and she sweeps her shot beyond Yektaei, but it's offside!
