The CommBank ParaMatildas defeated Colombia 8-0 in the second group stage game of the IFCPF Women’s World Cup on Sunday morning (AEDT).
Leah Spaine scored four goals on debut, while Trinity McPhie and Georgia Beikoff both scored braces to complete the comprehensive victory.
All five starting players were changed from game one. Leah Spaine started on debut, Carly Salmon started between the sticks, and Trinity McPhie, Tamsin Colley and Lainee Harrison completed the starting team.
McPhie got scoring underway in the first half. Colley played it central to the Queenslander, who finished well from outside the penalty area.
She made it two just before half-time. Picking up the ball from inside her own half, McPhie took several touches before slotting home another precise strike from long distance.
Georgia Beikoff was substituted on for Lainee Harrison in the 31st minute, and had an immediate impact. Spaine did well to win the ball high, playing a nice one-two with Beikoff, before the substitute got on the end of the loose ball and scored Australia’s third.
