Triumphs for Australia, Philippines, Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur: Australia, Philippines and Malaysia all secured wins in the latest round of women’s international friendlies played on Tuesday.
Joe Montemurro’s Australia bounced back from their 4-2 defeat to Germany last week to defeat Haiti 7-1.

The Matildas went ahead after two minutes with Clare Wheeler’s cutback finished off by Leticia McKenna but the lead lasted only a minute as Haiti equalised through Melchie Dumornay.

Australia retook the lead with another McKenna strike in the 44th minute before stamping their authority on the game in the second half.

An own goal by Louis Kethna (53rd) got the scoring going again with Caitlin Foord (65th), Daniela Galic (73rd), Wheeler (80th) and Holly McNamara (90th) adding to the score.
There was also a rebound for the Philippines who earned a 2-0 win against Peru, having lost 2-1 to the same opponents on Saturday.

Camryn Penn opened her international account for the Philippines in the 20th minute before Mallie Ramirez settled the match with her effort in the 42nd minute.

A similar storyline also was played out between Saudi Arabia and Malaysia, with the latter picking up a 1-0 win thanks to Aryssa Mahrt’s fifth minute goal with the former having won 2-0 on Saturday.
