THE Australian women’s football team have one hand on a ticket to Rio after maintaining their perfect record in qualifying with a confident 2-0 win over South Korea in Osaka, Japan on Friday.
Looking to maintain their momentum after wins over Japan and Vietnam, the Matildas made a perfect start with Kyah Simon netting just 50 seconds into the contest.
Simon, who scored a hat-trick against Vietnam midweek, crashed home from close range after Lisa De Vanna struck the post.
Midfielder Emily Van Egmond, making her 50th international appearance, soon doubled the advantage from the penalty spot after De Vanna was brought down just inside the area on 15 minutes. South Korea tried to take it to the Aussies but their efforts on goal were mostly restricted to long-range, though Jeon Ga-Eul struck the crossbar with a speculative effort.
