The Chelsea forward blazed over from six yards late on in Wednesday's game.
The Matildas did have opportunities to equalise before England’s third, tie-killing goal, with Kerr heading over before substitute Cortnee Vine forced Mary Earps into a fine save low down to her right.
The Chelsea forward started for the first time at the tournament against England, having been hampered by a calf injury, and she has now revealed that she only had a handful of training sessions in the build-up to the game – something that ultimately took its toll when the late chance fell her way.
