Teagan Micah put in a Player of the Match display for Australia against the USA overnight in SheBelieves Cup action.

Despite being on the wrong side of a 2-1 scoreline with the Matildas in Arizona, the Liverpool FC Women goalkeeper was impressive between the posts.

It was Micah's first involvement in the competition during the international break, after being an unused substitute in her nation's opening defeat by Japan.

Fuka Nagano, meanwhile, stepped off the bench in San Diego earlier in the day at the same tournament.

The Reds midfielder was introduced during the half-time interval, helping Japan to a second win in a row as they beat Colombia 4-1.

On Monday afternoon, Cornelia Kapocs featured as a substitute for Sweden's U23s as they recorded a 4-1 win over their Czechia counterparts in a friendly.
