The Matildas, Australia's national women's soccer team, are currently competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics. They are part of Group B, which includes the United States, Germany, and Zambia.

Their Olympic journey began with a tough 3-0 loss to Germany. However, they bounced back in dramatic fashion against Zambia, overcoming a 5-2 deficit to win 6-5, with Michelle Heyman scoring the decisive goal in the 90th minute. This thrilling victory has kept their hopes alive for advancing to the knockout stages.

The Matildas' next match is a crucial one against the United States on August 1. A strong performance will be essential to secure a spot in the quarterfinals, as the top two teams in each group, along with the two best third-placed teams, advance.

Despite some injuries, including the absence of key player Sam Kerr, the team remains optimistic about their chances of securing their first-ever Olympic medal.
