Olympics: Fox Sports News reporter Luke Doherty crosses like from Marseille to provide a breaking news Matildas squad update ahead of their clash against Germany.
Tillies forced into late squad change | 03:09Captain Steph Catley confessed the Matildas “need to be better” after starting their Olympic campaign with a 3-0 loss against heavyweights Germany on Friday morning AEST., with the 2016 Olympic champions sending an early statement to their competition rivals.
Australia will need nothing less than a victory against Zambia to keep their Olympic dream alive, with the Matildas facing the African nation on Monday morning. “We have two more games and we have to turn it around quickly. We have a lot to learn from here,” Catley said after the match. “We conceded two set pieces. We are usually much, much better on set pieces. It is a wake-up call and it is not to our standard and we need to be better for the next game and turn this tournament around.”
