Tom Sermanni's last match as the Matildas' coach marked a significant milestone, with a decisive 4-1 victory over Argentina. This friendly, attended by a record crowd of 25,125, highlights the growth of women's soccer in Australia since Sermanni's first game three decades ago. Key players Amy Sayer, Emily Van Egmond, and Michelle Heyman shone in this celebratory context, encapsulating Sermanni's impactful tenure, including leading the Matildas to their first Women's Asian Cup title in 2010. The future now lies under new coach Joe Montemurro, as the team prepares for upcoming challenges.
Thirty years ago, the Matildas scored four goals in a friendly match against New Zealand; now, they've recorded another 4-1 victory under Sermanni in his final game.
The 70-year-old Sermanni has been a loyal servant for the Matildas, playing an important role in the team's progression across more than a decade in charge.
