FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup
Charlotte Bradshaw’s second-half equaliser cancelled out Kiara Concha’s opener as the Junior Matildas secured a share of the points.
It was an even start between the sides, with Australia producing the first clear chance only for Chile goalkeeper Oriana Cristancho to make a superb reaction save.
Chile broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute when Josefa Munita delivered a curling cross for Concha to head home at the back post.

Australia pushed for an equaliser after the restart and were rewarded in the 63rd minute following a set-piece, with Sakura Leon sending a low cross towards the back post for Bradshaw to finish.
Both sides pressed for a winner in the closing stages but neither could find a breakthrough as they settled for a point apiece.
