I never found out the explanation on Australia’s 3rd goal

Did they decide she wasn’t offsides?
Did they decide the offsides didn’t affect the goal enough?


That the Aussie willingly played the ball negating offsides

Kinda reminded me of the Spurs vs Arsenal game where Kane was offsides but a player fouled him in the box.

I think the Kane example really shouldn’t have been a penalty, but one of those instances where if the player would have just dropped off, it maybe would have been better. Still I expect every defender to play it through even if it ends up with as a bad decision.


Actually it was the Brazilian (Monica) who had the own goal.

The replay determined Kerr (the Australian) did not impact the play. Nice way for Australia to win.


The latter. *
