US EditionMatildas Put Four on Iran as Korea Clash Looms
Australia needs a six-goal win to top Group A after South Korea's 3-0 victory, with the Matildas dominating Iran 4-0 by the 77th minute at the Asian Cup.
- On Mar 5, 2026 the Matildas led Iran 4-0 at Cbus Super Stadium in their AFC Women's Asian Cup match on the Gold Coast.
- Outside Gold Coast Stadium, exiled supporters chanted 'Thank you Trump, thank you Bibi', waved Lion and Sun flags, Australian and Israeli flags, and held signs for Reza Pahlavi while planning to enter the stadium.

- Wet conditions and empty seats highlighted atmosphere concerns as fans inside the stadium held up 'T-R-U-M-P' signs and Sara Didar, Iran player, left a press conference in tears on Wednesday.
