This pitch looks severely underwatered and sticky. Is Perth on water restrictions or something ? #AUSPHI

Welcome back Sam Kerr. It’s been too long. #AUSPHI

Who else but Sam Kerr gets the opening goal of the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup, under 15 minutes into Australia's opener against the Philippines. She already has an Asian Cup title to her name from 2010, but will be desperate to win this one on home soil. #AUSPHI
