GOALS
Phonsongkham WSW 1-0, 23′
Super goal. Phonsongkham with the ball outside the box and from distance placed the ball with her left boot with enough power over Casey Dumont.
Dowie Victory 1-1, 51′
Dowie brilliance. She holds up the ball, rolls her defender and smashes a ball from just outside the box over and past Whyman to make it 1-1. Stunning.
