The final, between the Matildas on home soil, and either South Korea or Japan, will take place on Saturday evening with a potential win capping off what has been a special international break for one of our own.

Beginning the tournament with a 1-0 over the Philippines on 1 March, the City midfielder went on to register an assist in a 4-0 win over Iran, before a 3-3 draw with South Korea confirmed Australia’s progression in the next stage as Group A runners-up.

The Leicester midfielder made her 170th appearance for Australia on Tuesday.

Van Egmond then played 70 minutes in last Friday’s 2-1 quarter-final win over North Korea, in which Alanna Kennedy and Sam Kerr found the net, before a semi-final against China awaited.

Starting on the bench at Optus Stadium, our No.5 was given an emotional introduction late on in the game, marking her 170th appearance for the Matildas with a victory, becoming the nation’s all-time most capped player.

This books Australia’s place into the final two, which will take place on Saturday morning at Stadium Australia in Sydney. Congratulations on the achievement, Emily, and best of luck!
