Matildas Secure Historic Victory Over Germany with Cooney-Cross Wonder Goal

Australia's national team triumphs 2-1 in Duisburg, marking their first win against Germany in 19 years.

Kyra Cooney-Cross scored a stunning long-range goal to level the match just before halftime, marking her first international goal in her 50th cap.
Clare Hunt's header in the 77th minute sealed the victory, also her first goal for the Matildas.
Germany dominated possession and had multiple scoring opportunities but failed to capitalize, managing only six shots on target from 20 attempts.
More than 26,000 fans attended the match to bid farewell to Germany's Alexandra Popp, who made her final appearance for the national team.
Interim coach Tom Sermanni led the Matildas to this significant win, with upcoming matches against Brazil and Chinese Taipei scheduled in Australia.
