Foord opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a close-range effort from a corner.
One minute later, the Matildas forward played a key role in the second goal, turning over possession before her pressure saw Jaz Matthews score an own goal from Kim Little’s cutback.

Foord put in a full shift along with Steph Catley in defence, while Kyra Cooney-Cross went unused. Teagan Micah was Liverpool’s back-up keeper on the bench.
