An unexpected victory for Australia turned out to be a historical one for the Aussies as they defeated the USWNT 1-0 in what was both countries opening match in the 2017 Tournament of Nations.
The match-winning goal was scored in the 61st minute by Tameka Butt. She slotted home an opportunity from close range to give Australia the lead and eventually win.
It was a disappointing result for the USWNT as they have now lost three matches on U.S. soil in 2017. Their record stands at 5-3 which is not what many would have predicted for this side.
