What a day for Aussie football! The game was a tense affair, with both teams battling hard for every inch of the pitch.

But the drama wasn't over yet! Germany equalized in the second half, putting the pressure back on Australia. But then, in a moment that sent Aussie fans into a frenzy, the Matildas scored the winner!
