The Matildas still made history despite missing out on the bronze medal.
Clare Hunt produced a number of telling interceptions for the Matildas, but was at fault for the penalty after she accidentally clipped the heels of Blackstenius in the penalty area.
It was harsh on Hunt, but the referee had no hesitation in awarding the spot kick after seeing all the angles in the VAR review. Rolfo stepped up and while Arnold guessed right, she couldn’t stop the powerful strike.
