Matildas 2 Canada 1.

Canberra women strike for the Matildas.

If ever evidence was needed that Canberra should have a women's team in the National League, Caitlin Munoz and Amy Chapman provided those within the FFA with food for thought.

The two attackers from Canberra, Matildas stars Munoz and Chapman gave Australia a 2-0 half-time lead.

Canada came out strong in the second half. They scored one and hit the bar on a number of occasions.

An outstanding performance from a young Matildas side saw the team head off to the Asia Cup tomorrow with the perfect boost.

Canberra's Lydia William came on in the second half. As did the impressive Kyah Simon, just 17.

Lauren Colthorpe, and Claire Polkinghorne showed once again that the Matildas have secured two future stars. Their performances mature beyond their years.

World Cup heroes Collette McCallum, Cheryl Salisbury and Sarah Walsh were again outstanding particularly in the first half.

Crowd estimate at around 4,000.

Caitlin Munoz and Amy Chapman may just have forced a Canberra team into the National League!
