Australia Women v Panama Women: International friendly preview

Australia will be out for revenge after suffering a surprise 1-0 defeat against Panama in Saturday's international friendly clash.

The Matildas slipped to a 1-0 defeat in Western Australia and will be keen to respond when they face Panama for a second time on Tuesday.

It was the first loss under new head coach Joe Montemurro, who was missing a host of experienced stars and had to field a weakened side.

Even so, the fringe players that came in would have been expected to do better and they will need to bounce back in game two.

Tuesday night's clash will be played at HBF Park in Perth and the Matildas will be out to put on a show.

All-change for Matildas

Australia will once again field a new-look line-up when they take on Panama in Perth on Tuesday night.

New head coach Montemurro was unbeaten in his opening two games, beating Slovenia 3-0 and then drawing 1-1 with the same opponents.

 However, he made 10 changes for the clash with Panama with a host of top stars unavailable, with Sam Kerr, Mary Fowler, Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord, Katrina Gorry and Clare Wheeler all absent.

Ellie Carpenter, Mackenzie Arnold, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Sharn Freeier were also released from the squad after the Slovenia games.

Amy Sayer and Charli Grant were rested in game one and it remains to be seen if Montemurro will bring them back in.

He used the first game against Panama to hand debuts to four players and will no doubt be keen for them to gain even more experience in a friendly clash.

It means Adriana Taranto, Jacynta Galabadaarchchi, Grace Kuilamu and Alexia Apostolakis are all set to get more minutes.

Panama proved to be tough opposition with a physical approach and another low-scoring game could be on the cards.

Michelle Heyman missed a great chance to equalise at the death in the first game and the veteran striker will be desperate to make amends on Tuesday.

Panama eye another upset

Boosted by the shock 1-0 victory in Bunbury on Saturday, Panama will be out for back-to-back wins against the Matildas.

Ranked 56th in the world, Panama celebrated wildly on Saturday and will be fired up to keep the good times rolling.

Sherline King grabbed the only goal of the game and the 19-year-old is sure to be a threat to the Matildas defence once again.
