With just one weekend left of club matches before the Matildas join up in Turkey, it's getting down to the pointy end for World Cup selection.
The game settled after the goal and both teams had opportunities to score. Alanna Kennedy was close to getting on the end of a ball served into the box by her Pride teammate, Marta, but the service was just out of reach of Kennedy’s diving header.
