An emotional Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson spoke of his gratitude for the home crowd."I get emotional, I really do, the support we feel is ... wow. Thank you, thank you," Gustavsson said on Optus Sport post match.

A lethal Denmark turnover allowed the Matildas free-flowing game to take over, with Foord slotting the ball through the legs of the Danish keeper. Despite Denmark dominating ball usage early in the second half, scoring opportunities were hard to come by as the Matildas did not slow down. Kerr was poised to come on prior to Raso's goal, but didn't enter the pitch until the 79th minute mark, replacing van Egmond and Raso as Courtney Vine also entered play.
