Their world-class talent continues to stun the world, inspiring young women in football all around Australia.

There have been a number of spectacular goals with a handful of players pulling off something magical and scoring when you didn't think it was possible.

It’s hard to decide what are the best goals ever scored when there are just so many. These are just a small number of the greatest Matildas' goals that will forever go down in history.

ELLYSE PERRY - AUSTRALIA VS SWEDEN 2011 FIFA WOMEN’S WORLD CUP 

At just 20 years old scoring on the big stage like a FIFA Women’s World Cup is an unforgettable moment.

Perry’s long-distance shot into the top left corner was a remarkable goal. The roaring Aussies heard from the stands in Germany gives you chills and a sense of pride in being a woman in Australia.

KATRINA GORRY- AUSTRALIA VS KOREA REPUBLIC 2014 AFC WOMEN’S ASIAN CUP TOURNAMENT

Gorry’s screamer is hard to forget!

Skipping past her defender and taking the shot from just outside the box, the perfect shot allowing the ball to curl just the right amount to make it impossible for the keeper to save, hitting the back of the net powerfully for an exceptional goal.

Gorry continued to display her talent as she later went on to win 2014’s AFC player of the year.

EMILY VAN EGMOND - AUSTRALIA VS CHINA AFC WOMENS OLYMPIC QUALIFIERS 2016

Van Egmond’s banger into the top corner gave the Matildas the late equalizer!

The strike from distance left Australia celebrating as the Matildas finished top of the standings for the Olympic qualifiers.

Funnily enough, this moment was duplicated as Van Egmond produced the stunning late equalizer against China earlier this year for the road to Tokyo campaign.

ALANA KENNEDY’S – AUSTRALIA VS NETHERLANDS 2017 ALGARVE CUP

It's always exciting when a defender scores. But Kennedy isn’t any normal defender, she scores goals for fun.

Her famous headers are always thrilling to watch. This goal, in particular, is one of the best, her powerful header gives the Matildas a 3-2 win defeating the Dutch in the Algarve Cup.

TAMEKA YALLOP - AUSTRALIA VS USA 2017 TOURNAMENT OF NATIONS

Tameka Yallop’s goal against USA was a historic moment as Australia recorded their first-ever victory against the world number ones.

Yallop’s strike in the second half gave the Matildas the win 1-0. Following this success, the Matilda’s then were crowned victors of the 2017 Tournament of Nations.

LISA DE VANNA- AUSTRALIA VS BRAZIL INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY 2017

If volleying a ball was one of hardest skills then why did Lisa De Vanna make it look easy? This incredible goal in front of her home crowd left the audience on their feet astonished!

SAM KERR- AUSTRALIA VS CHINA INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY 2017

She did it again! Sam Kerr never fails to amaze us when she steps on the pitch. This goal is just one of many for her, however, I’d describe this goal as electric.

Her ability to strike with such power is something else and the crowd’s reaction highlights that this screamer is one never to be forgotten.

HAYLEY RASO - AUSTRALIA VS NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY 2019

Just months after breaking her back, Raso stuns us all, scoring after just minutes of being subbed on.

What a memorable moment it was to have such a strong forward return after her long road to recovery.

Raso proved anything is possible, sliding past her defender and beautifully striking into the bottom left corner. A magnificent moment, and an even more magnificent goal.

EMILY GIELINIK – AUSTRALIA VS KOREA REPUBLIC INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY 2019

On the impossible angle, Gielink scores a screamer that is one to remember! The fierce attacker needed no help, beating her defender and striking it into the far post!

Unbelievable is the word that comes to mind. This goal should leave you speechless.

CAITLIN FOORD- AUSTRALIA VS USA INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY 2019

Matildas star forward scores a freakish solo goal! Turning away from multiple American defenders then topping it off with a classy finish in the bottom right corner.

The Matildas celebrate by lifting Foord off her feet, showcasing just what this goal means to them.
