Players gave it their all, says Australia's Gustavsson

Sydney: Australia head coach Tony Gustavsson urged his players to walk with their heads held high despite missing out on the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 final following their 3-1 defeat to England on Wednesday.

Sam Kerr canceled out Ella Toone’s first half opener after the break but Gustavsson’s charges couldn’t contain England, who scored twice to seal the semi-final win in front of a sold-out Stadium Australia.
