"I thought Tony Gustavsson got it right last night. It was a big, big challenge as to whether we kind of learnt from the first games in the tournament, and we had.
"They sat a little bit deeper, let Denmark have a little more of the ball, defended really well, and the counterattack." "Clare Hunt has been unbelievable. Allana Kennedy, she's been outstanding. The two central midfielders – everyone has been lauding Katrina and Kyra , they've been magnificent, but it is the back four and the two in front who, in quarter finals and beyond, are absolutely key."
Foster said Kerr's 10-minute cameo was "inspirational", and enough to prove her fitness, and she would likely start in the Matildas next game.The Matildas were elevated into the quarters off the back of a sensational first half goal from Caitlin Foord – set up by an even better aerial ball from Mary Fowler – and then a second half goal to Hayley Raso.
