When do the Matildas play next?

That's it from me for today (how nice is a 10am AEST kick-off? More of those please, universe).

But I'll be back on the ABC Sport blog in a couple weeks time, as the Matildas take on China in a two-game friendly series.

The first takes place on Friday, May 31 at Adelaide Oval with kick-off at 8:10pm AEST.

Their second game will be on Monday, June 3 at Stadium Australia in Sydney, kick-off 7.40pm AEST.

Both games will be shown live on Channel 10 and Paramount Plus.

Until then, have a fabulous rest of your day!

Your final thoughts
My final thoughts

Well, considering the doubts a lot of us had around squad depth in light of all those injuries pre-game, the Matildas have definitely shown that they're not as worried as we are.

This was an excellent game from both sides. Mexico were a very well-structured side, very physical, and didn't give Australia a lot of time on the ball with their high-energy press.

But the Matildas were able to solve a number of those problems - especially how to keep the ball and play out from pressure instead of just thumping it long - though there are still a couple question-marks around clinical finishing and creating more convincing opportunities in central areas, rather than relying constantly on their wingers.

I was super impressed by Emily Van Egmond and Kaitlyn Torpey, while Caitlin Foord did something every time she was on the ball. Steph Catley was also brilliant as a stand-in centre-back in the absence of Clare Hunt, though it did reduce the Matildas' left-sided attacking overlaps slightly.

Overall, a really impressive, confident, and co-ordinated performance from the Matildas, who also secure another le clean sheet.

Full-time: Mexico 0 - 2 Australia!
90' Foord presses

A cute little flick-around her own defender sees Caitlin Foord, who's now playing at centre-forward, sprinting shoulder-to-shoulder with Mexico's centre-back to try and win the ball.

Her defender beats her to it, and tries to clear it, but Foord slides in to intercept.

The clearance falls right to the feet of Sharn Frier, who has a heap of space in front of her in the box, but the referee blows the whistle signalling a foul before the winger has a chance to decide what to do.

Bugger.

2 minutes of time added on
88' Oi, ref!

Caitlin Foord is holding her arms wide, staring straight at the referee.

The Mexican goalkeeper, Esthefanny Barreras, has been holding the ball for at least 10 seconds, which is definitely not allowed.

The referee doesn't care, evidently. Seconds tick by. The commentators are asking the question. Then she thumps it up-field.

I understand time-wasting, but in a friendly? Geez.

86' Australia substitution

And it's a debut for Sharn Frier, who earns Matildas cap number 228!

The Brisbane Roar winger replaces Kyra Cooney-Cross.

84' Yellow card

Clare Wheeler gets the first slice of cheese of the match after a studs-up tackle on Maria Sanchez.

81' Mexico try to claw a goal back

They've had two chances in the past minute!

First, a corner is taken short on the far side, which the Matildas aren't able to close down in time, with one of the players rocketing a shot just wide of the near post.

But the biggest chance came a moment later as Australia tried to pass out from the goal kick, with Kyra Cooney-Cross giving the ball away at the top of the box, but the shot slams straight into Mackenzie Arnold's chest.

That was a real let-off. The Matildas will be lucky to escape this with a clean sheet.
