The victories capped off a history-making week for the Matildas who, after the announcement of a new equal pay deal, broke the record for highest-attended women's football international game in Australian history.

In true Sam Kerr style, the former Perth Glory captain found the back of the net within the first four minutes of Game One against Chile. 

It wasn't long before the record-breaking 20,029 crowd were delighted again by the superstar, who claimed her second goal in the second half.

It was in the 72nd minute that Kerr's second goal against Chile took her 2019 total for club and country t0 40 goals in 40 appearances and secured the win for her team, 2-0. 

Defender and former AFLW player Jenna McCormick also made her international debut, after seven seasons in the W-League and a code switch to give herself the best run at representing Australia on the Olympic stage.

The 25-year-old described her first cap as highly emotional.

"It was really overwhelming, I felt a lot of emotions from the beginning of the day until now. I'm still feeling it," she said.

"I still can't really put it into words, but I'm just so grateful to have this opportunity.

"To be able to share the field with some of the best and for them to believe in me is a very, very special thing for me," McCormick continued.

"It's something I don't take for granted. I really wanted to be able to wear this jersey and this crest and to sing the National Anthem and hope I did everyone proud."

The attendance at Bankwest, Parramatta, eclipsed the former record of 16,829 set in Newcastle in 2017 by over 19%, in a positive sign of growing support for the Australian Women's National Football Team.

In Game Two, the Aussie squad played their first game in South Australia in 13 years, treating fans to a tight and physical 1-0 win. The crowd of 10,342 was double the largest ever recorded in South Australia for a women's football international.

It was in the 23rd minute that Emily Gielnik scored Australia's only goal, but it was enough to claim the win, with the scores settling 1-0 and the Matildas claiming bragging rights for the series overall.

The friendlies were the first games the Matildas have played since their untimely exit from the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in the Round of 16 when they lost to Norway in a penalty shootout, along with their first win and were also the first fixtures they've played on home soil since the Cup of Nations in March 2019.

Attacker Hayley Raso said the history-making event is a great indication of where women's football is heading.

"It was really nice to play in front of 20,000 people at home. It's been a while, that last time we played was at the World Cup, so it was nice to just play on home soil," she said.

"The support has been incredible, the demand around us with equal pay and just everything is incredible.

"For us to get that support, it's just amazing to see where women's football is going and hopefully it keeps growing from here."

The Matildas next biggest challenge will be Tokyo 2020 qualification, with the Olympic qualifiers against Chinese Taipei, Thailand and China due to take place in February 2020 and Head Coach Ante Milicic is keen to keep a tight group ahead of Tokyo with each player needing to earn their spot.

"Going to the Olympics, we're going with 18 so let's be realistic about that."

He acknowledged there was plenty to work on, but considering the last time every player last played competitive football was some time ago, (most being in pre-season) he is confident more minutes would lead to a stronger, more cohesive team.

"January will be a different scenario for us. If you compare now to when we get together again in January, the amount of games and match minutes the players will get will automatically put them in better shape and better condition than what they were today.

"Preparation has already begun."
