Matildas v Mexico LIVE updates: Australia take on Mexico at CommBank Stadium in friendly

Australia’s indefatigable right-back is pleased with the result, particularly in light of Saturday’s performance.

“We had a lot to work on from the last game,” Carpenter says. “Obviously had to work out how to beat their press. We dealt with that tonight most of the time. Still some shaky moments there, but that’s what friendlies are for.”

She also sheds some light on Montemurro’s halftime team talk, which focused on those repeated defensive errors and miscommunications.

“He said these are the situations we are going to be put in, so we need to deal with it,” she says. “Teams are going to pressure us if we want to play the way we want to play – which is with the ball.”
