Alexia Apostolakis delivered one of the most reliable right-back performances in this weeks Melbourne Derby.

High physical output, strong defensive reading, and clear development upside.

FT: England 3–0 Australia.

Red card swung it and Australia were chasing from then on. Sayer logged 69’ but with limited possession and a reshaped 4-4-1, I’m pausing the review. Proper report next match.

Half-time: ENG 2–0 AUS.

Australia were slow early; the red card did the rest. With so little of the ball (27%), hard to assess Amy Sayer.
