Finished 5-2 for a Japan win.
Australia will now play the winner of Group B - either North or South Korea. They play tonight at 11pm AEST. NK only need draw to top their group.
Australia's quarter final is on Sunday night at 11pm AEST. A must win to make the U20 World Cup!

Dear @thematildas.bsky.social
I hope the entire #Matildas squad knows WE know they gave absolutely 100% for the entire game in that Final. They are breathtakingly outstanding sportswomen and incredible role models. Gutted for them but so unbelievably proud of them. 😢🙏💐 #JPNvAUS #WAC2026
It's not just the crowd in the stadium. Saturday’s Asian Cup Final saw Channel 10 score its highest ratings since 2023 and best ever ratings for a football match, with 3.2 million viewers reached.
It averaged 1.4 million viewers for the duration of the match. #JPNvAUS #Matildas #HowWeWaltz #WAC2026

"The final of the Women’s Asian Cup may have seen the Matildas go down 1-0 to Japan, but it was an unqualified victory for Ten, which drew its biggest TV audiences since the Melbourne Cup in 2023."

what other other sport can Australia boast having Japan, China, South Korea, North Korea and the Philippines as COMPETITIVE regional rivals?
on the men's side, in addition to the aforementioned, you have all the Arab countries, who are... annoyingly good. 😬

fans of other codes and SOKKAH-haters may never understand this but having tough competition in your own region (and, by extension, the world) is a sign of a healthy, growing sport.
it is why we left Oceania and joined Asia.
