Sam Kerr scores but admits it ‘didn’t click’ in Matildas’ Asian Cup opener

Some things are just meant to be, like Sam Kerr and scoring goals in Perth. The Matildas got their Women’s Asian Cup campaign underway with a 1-0 win over the Philippines. A victory to get things started in coach Joe Montemurro’s first tournament in charge is a box ticked, but the national side struggled at times to create and then capitalise on their opportunities. How will the Tillies reflect on this match and should fans be concerned about a slow start?
