The day's second match saw Capital Football’s all-female side take on Western Australia in an epic clash.
CommBank ParaMatilda Goalkeeper Katelyn Smith was incredible with more than 30 saves, including stopping a Connor Bunce rocket early in the first half. The West Australians played their own keeper, Chris Barty on the field, and he didn’t disappoint, adding two of his own to the team’s tally.
Smith made a goal-line save to keep the score at just 2-0 going into the break.
The Western Australian side came out of the break firing, adding three more goals to finish the game 5-0. Chris Minutillo netted a brace while 51-year-old Miguel Marcellino scored his first of the tournament.
