Matildas 0 Canada 0
Matildas Coach Tom Sermanni was delighted with the performances of his young players in the 0-0 draw with Canada on Tuesday in a game played behind closed doors.
"We have nine of the eighteen outfield World Cup players not in this team. So Ellyse Perry 17, Kyah Symon 16, Jenna Tristram 21 Ella Mastrantinou 16, all played and did fantastically well.
"Only Lydia Williams, Kate McShea and Di Alagich from the World Cup squad played most of the game.
"These games are a great chance for the young players coming through. We'll have Lisa De Vanna, Heather Garriock and Kate Gill back for the Asia Cup, but for now the youngsters have a great chance to play."
The Matildas got to meet the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on Tuesday. The PM spent 45 minutes at the training ground mingling with the Matildas and Socceroos, discussing the World Cup bid.
The PM left before the Matildas Canada game.
Matildas take on Canada on Friday before flying out on Saturday to Vietnam for the Asia Cup.

As usual the publicity for the Matildas has been abolutley zilch!
No I know nothing, I'll try and find out. But will have a report from a player after the game on here.
Squad now up on FFA site. Caitlin Munoz and amy Chapamn starting. Go ACT!
I'll have the starting line-up at 4pm
Lydia Williams should also be in the squad, she played in Tuesday's 0-0 don't expect she will play today, nor Caitlin she may be injured still.
But I expect Amy Chapman to start..but what do I know!
