Australia's Matildas defeated North Korea 2-1 in the Women's Asian Cup quarter-finals in Perth on Friday, advancing to the semi-finals and securing qualification for the 2027 World Cup despite being outplayed for much of the match. The narrow victory raises questions about the aging squad's future, with several starters over 30, and whether generational change must occur before next year's World Cup.
