Thanks David – I was otherwise engaged, but got to read your summary. You brought the Matildas home well. Wednesday night in Melbourne should be a real celebration.

Do you think Heyman should start the next game? She is an out and out 9. Will she get to the Olympic Games?

I'm so glad Heyman scored. She has worked so hard just to get back on the pitch, nevermind the Matildas squad. :happy:

Thanks for joining in mate. Big night of A-League. I enjoyed the Sydney-City match earlier.

It was a radio jingle on 2WS about City Ford (used cars). Maybe circa 1980’s.

That’s all from Bunyodkor Stadium as Australia stepped up their level in the second half to leave Tashkent with a vital 3-0 win. Thank you all for joining me, and be sure to keep it locked on The Roar for Wednesday’s second leg. Stuart Thomas will bring you that one from a sold-out Marvel Stadium in Melbourne.

Cheers, David. Good game, Matilda’s. Enjoy the night. In other matches… WSW scrapped past Adelaide. I’m hoping Perth spoil Wellington’s party.
