Melbourne City striker Holly McNamara scores a hat-trick in a 5-1 win against Western United. This comes after her return to the Matildas squad for upcoming international matches.
Holly McNamara scored a hat-trick to propel Melbourne City to a commanding 5-1 victory over Western United . McNamara's treble came as a celebration of her recall to the Matildas squad for upcoming international matches against Japan, the United States, and Colombia later this month. This marks the three-cap Matilda's first call-up in two years and her return to the national team after overcoming a third ACL tear.
McNamara's goalscoring prowess began in the third minute, swiftly followed by Western United's Chloe Logarzo leveling the score with a spectacular long-range strike in the 26th minute. However, McNamara restored City's lead in the 36th minute with a tap-in before completing her hat-trick with a brilliant chip just two minutes later. She was substituted in the 57th minute, apparently due to cramp.Rhianna Pollicina, who provided assists for two of McNamara's goals, added City's fourth goal in the 59th minute. Lourdes Bosch sealed the victory with a fifth goal in the 71st minute, marking City's first-ever win against their crosstown rivals. The match also saw concerns for Western United midfielder Melissa Taranto, who sustained a potentially serious left knee injury during the game
