Matildas down Chile 1-0 in Adelaide to clinch series, despite Kerr's penalty miss

Matildas attacker Emily Gielnik provided the hit and captain Sam Kerr some rare misses in a 1-0 win against Chile in Tuesday night's women's soccer friendly.The Matildas have ended 2019 with a win, beating the world's 37th ranked side Chile in AdelaideThe Matildas, who lost in the round of 16 at the World Cup in June, finished 2019 with a record of seven wins, two losses

The previous Adelaide benchmark was 5,168 for a 2006 fixture against China — the last time the Matildas played in the South Australian capital. The tinkering had scant impact on the fluency of the Matildas, who produced a first half domination punctuated by Gielnik's 23rd minute strike. But Kerr's powerful shot from the spot, low to the left, was well-covered by Campos, leaving the hosts 1-0 up at the break despite basking in two-thirds of possession.

Well done Matildas. You are so inspirational.

I see that abc had no female soccer fans online this morning. You should tweet wbbl results as well and see how that goes for you.
