Australia 4-1 Argentina: Tom Sermanni signs off in style as an Amy Sayer double sees Matildas seal dominant victory
Tom Sermanni signed off as Matildas boss in fitting style on Monday night.
It was his 151st game in charge of the Australian women’s national side and his team delivered on what was a momentous day for the 70-year-old Scot.
On the day that Australia officially announced that Joe Montemurro would be taking the reigns from their interim boss, the Matildas produced a dominant 4-1 victory against Argentina in front of 25,125 fans at the GIO Stadium in Canberra.
Amy Sayer was the standout, scoring after 14 minutes to give her side an early lead.
Argentina forward Kishi Nunez hit back soon after to level the scores. But Sayer restored Australia’s lead just before half-time with another goal.
After the break Emily Van Egmond and Michelle Heyman both found the back of the net to seal a 4-1 victory.
Montemurro, who was in the house for the match, will now take charge of the Matildas for their upcoming friendlies against Slovenia on June 29 and June 29.
