The CommBank ParaMatildas have claimed their third straight victory of the 2025 IFCPF Women’s Intercontinental Cup, defeating Nepal 5-0 in Loughborough, England.
One change was made from the CommBank ParaMatildas starting lineup against the Netherlands, with Tamsin Colley joining the Starting V. Carly Salmon donned the captain's armband and moved to outfield, while Georgia Beikoff stepped in as keeper.
It took only six minutes for the CommBank ParaMatildas to find their first goal, with Beikoff opening the scoring with a long-range effort. Then, only a minute later, Lainee Harrison stunned the opposition with a second for the Australians.
Usual goalkeeper Carly Salmon made it three at 13', extending Australia's lead. The teams ended the first half 3-0 to the Aussies.
Just three minutes into the second half, Tamsin Colley struck deftly from way out, giving the CommBank ParaMatildas a comfortable 4-0 lead by 18'.
With just six minutes left, Salmon snuck the ball in at the rear post with the match ending 5-0 to the Australian side.
Sitting undefeated and atop the table, the CommBank ParaMatildas will take on the USA next, whom they defeated in 2024 to claim the IFCPF Women's World Cup.
All matches will be live-streamed on the IFCPF YouTube channel and LSUTV (Loughborough Students' Union TV) YouTube channel.
