The Guardian FootballSam Kerr on target but Matildas outclassed by youthful Germany in European friendly
Australia fall 4-2 to world No 3 side in Karlsruhe Holly McNamara joins Kerr on scoresheet for Matildas Sign up for Football Desk Australia: our free newsletter with Jonathan Wilson For a moment, it felt like the Matildas were back. Ellie Carpenter took off down the right wing, eating up the metres with the ball at her feet, bouncing a pass off Hayley Raso before chipping a cross to the front post for Sam Kerr to angle into the far corner. Just ignore the fact it took 45 minutes to get there, that Australia were already 2-0 down, and that it was a rare attacking moment for a team who were outplayed, outmuscled, outrun and outshot for most of the rest of the game.

The Guardian FootballRusso’s return to form is vital but Lionesses still lack bite against low blocks | Suzanne Wrack
England have the edge over Greece after the first leg of their World Cup playoff but remain a team in transition It took a labyrinthine move from Sarina Wiegman’s team to find a way through deep-lying Greece. On the outskirts of Heraklion, the ancient city of Knossos, which is associated with the legend of the Minotaur and the labyrinth constructed by Daedalus to contain it, Laura Blindkilde Brown’s quick pass to Alessia Russo was artfully flicked first time to her Arsenal teammate Georgia Stanway and the midfielder slotted in past the goalkeeper Fafailia Petaloti. There were muted celebrations after the goal, reflective of the frustration they felt at having taken 39 minutes to get their first goal against the team ranked 54 places below them.

The Guardian FootballLionesses take control of World Cup playoff tie but unfancied Greece still in fight
World Cup qualifying playoff: Greece 1-3 England Stanway, Le Tissier and Russo on target Sarina Wiegman said she wanted to see a bit more from her side after their fairly underwhelming performance against a hugely unfancied Greek side, despite securing a valuable first-leg victory in their Women’s World Cup playoff tie. Georgia Stanway’s neat finish, Maya Le Tissier’s first England goal and Alessia Russo’s low strike were enough to give England control but a Kallisti Brouksair goal for Greece means that the tie is not definitively over, going into Tuesday’s second leg, and Wiegman acknowledged that England had been “a bit sloppy” at times.

The Guardian FootballOld soccer meets new football: Australia Cup final heaves with significance | Jack Snape
South Melbourne and Melbourne Victory clash on what promises to be a ‘special and historical night’ and in a triumph of the competition’s concept One club represents new football, a keystone entity in the contentious reboot of Australia’s round ball game 21 years ago. It was a brand designed to bring together Melbourne’s sporting tribes. The reality was something different. The other club can trace its roots back to the 1950s, and a proud history including four titles in the now defunct National Soccer League, intertwined with the pride and community of European post-war migration. The club has delivered many of Australia’s football’s most meaningful days. Or, as it seemed to some in recent decades, fading memories. Continue reading...
