Football 2025: Australia's Matildas def Panama 3-2 in second friendly match, score, stats, result, goal scorers, video, highlights, latest news
Australia's Matildas have avoided a second disastrous defeat to lowly Panama, with a stoppage-time winner from Charli Grant giving the hosts a 3-2 win. The central American side, ranked 56th in the world, stunned the World Cup semi-finalists last weekend in Bunbury and were threatening to repeat the feat on Tuesday evening at HBF Park. That was until two goals from veteran forward Michelle Heyman, both assisted by the excellent Hayley Raso, gave the hosts the lead in more promising signs under new coach Joe Montemurro.

A clean finish in the 84th minute from Lineth Cedeno saw the Matildas facing the prospect of just one win from their four games in the west against Panama and Slovenia over the last fortnight. But Grant tapped in the winner early in added time to hand Montemurro and his side a confidence boost heading towards a home Asian Cup, to be held next March. The Matildas were without some 19 first-choice players including the likes of Teagan Micah, Mackenzie Arnold, Alanna Kennedy, Ellie Carpenter, Steph Catley, Clare Wheeler, Kyra Cooney-Cross, Katrina Gorry, Caitlin Foord, Mary Fowler and Sam Kerr. Absences and injuries forced eight changes from the side that lost 1-0 on Saturday with Chloe Lincoln making her starting debut as goalkeeper with returns for Charli Grant and Amy Sayer. After 34 minutes, a costly turnover from Jessika Nash gave Panama's Ericka Aruaz the chance to send a brilliant strike past Chloe Lincoln for the 1-0 lead. But in the 55th minute Heyman levelled the scores, tapping in her 32nd career goal for the national side off a Raso assist. With the Matildas in the ascendancy it wasn't long until Heyman added her 33rd, again combining with Raso to head home a second goal.

NRL, rugby union and A-League venue Allianz Stadium could be set to close leaving Sydney FC stranded
Don't miss out on the headlines from NRL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Allianz Stadium could be sensationally closed and unavailable for sport this coming summer. The $828 million venue only reopened in 2022, but is now awaiting results on a report into the massive drainage issues the facility has faced over the past three years. Watch every game of The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. The investigation comes after disastrous flooded playing surfaces this season and last when the Sydney Roosters, Waratahs and NSW Blues women's side hosted games. A decision is expected to be made by the end of the month after Allianz operators Service NSW responded to matter. The worst possible scenario is if the issue is due to the stadium's underground drainage system, as feared, it could take months to rectify. Player safety at Allianz Stadium for the State of Origin women's series came under heavy scrutiny. Photo:. The move will mean Sydney FC may have to find a temporary new home for the upcoming 2025/26 A-League season, most likely Leichhardt Oval according to AAP, causing significant commercial concerns. The A-League and the Sky Blues have already looked to adjust the schedule to work around major concerts and events, creating another hurdle for the side. 'The comprehensive review into the playing surface and drainage system at Allianz Stadium is expected to be finalised later this month,' a Venues NSW spokesperson said. 'As we are awaiting the results of the investigation, no decision has been made on what remediation works are required.'

The stadium's neighbouring venue the Sydney Cricket Ground last week also come under massive scrutiny during a Round 16 clash between the Sydney Swans and Western Bulldogs, which also saw drainage issues causing a slippery surfaces for players. New turf has been re-laid the past two summers but conditions have only worsened. The worst of it came in May after a rain-soaked women's State of Origin match saw players surrounded by pools of water in near unplayable conditions. The review comes after independent MP Mark Latham raised his concerns in parliament last month. The MP questioned why the issued had persisted for so long and had concerns for player safety and insurance. Originally published as Fears Allianz Stadium report could see venue closed for summer
