Matildas fall to another SheBelieves Cup defeat after horror start against USA
Lynn Biyendolo opens scoring for USWNT after just 42 secondsMuch improved Australian showing despite 2-1 defeat in Glendale
The Matildas’ rediscovered grit was hailed by coach Tom Sermanni after his side refused to “cave in” after a nightmare start to their SheBelieves Cup encounter with hosts and world No 1 USA.
Just 42 seconds were on the clock at State Farm Stadium in Glendale when Lynn Biyendolo opened the scoring for the US, prompting fears of a repeat thrashing after the Matildas slumped to a 4-0 defeat to Japan in their opening game last week.
