The Matildas have Emily Van Egmond to thank as they salvaged a 1-1 draw at home to China and topping Group B. They will now face Vietnam in a two-legged affair in March to earn a spot at Tokyo 2020.
Elise Kellond-Knight - 6
Kennedy and Kellond-Knight needed to settle things down in the first half. They were the two main culprits when it came to losing possession in their own half. Kellond-Knight's passing was back up to her usual standard in the second half.
Chloe Logarzo - 6.5
The new Bristol City midfielder was as tenacious as ever, throwing herself into challenges.
Caitlin Foord - 6
Foord was hit and miss when holding up the ball, but it wasn't always her fault. There were times she shielded it beautifully but had no supporting runs.
Hayley Raso - 6
Why is Raso always the first to go down with an injury? She was certainly targeted as a threat by China with the opponents limiting her space to be effective with her pace by playing a deep line.
Sam Kerr - 5.5
The Chelsea superstar had a header that just went wide in the first half, but other than that, she didn't have too many chances.
SUBSTITUTES
Kyah Simon - 6
The Matildas lifted with Simon's introduction setting up a chance moments after she came on.
Tameka Yallop - N/A
