Going For Gold - Episode 4 - Olympic Coverage

  • Summary

  • The Matildas' 3-0 loss to Germany in their first match of the Olympics served as a reality check for both the team and Australian fans. While there were areas of improvement and good moments in the game, Germany's quality and organization were evident. The Matildas struggled to defend set pieces, conceding two goals from them. The team also faced challenges in transitioning from defense to attack and lacked clinical finishing.
