Should this penalty have been awarded against the Matildas?

America’s third goal sunk any chance of an Australian comeback. Was there enough contact to point to the spot here?

The question you really have to ask and this is similiar to what happened in the first goal is why is the worst player in the world in this team. At the time of the header by Van Egmond there are 5 australian on 4 USA players. Then the ball is kicked up into the air Van Egmond goes at a slow jog while 2 USA players run past her. So there now 5 players on 4 Australians. What does Van Egmond when there is the equivalent of a defensive emergency she then stops and watches. Another Australian player overtakes her but too late to catch the American because they have 5 on 4 the chances are the ball falls to them The worlds worst player strikes again and does this time after time but is not only never left out of the team she is given a guaranteed 90 minutes every game.
