SOC:Matildas want polish, response after Mexican surprise

Matildas coach Joe Montemurro admits Mexico's strategic curveball has left them with plenty of homework ahead of their Sydney rematch.

The visitors won 1-0 thanks to an injury-time goal in Newcastle on Saturday, despite Australia having 19 shots on goal.

Ahead of her 150th national appearance in Sydney on Tuesday, Caitlin Foord admitted there was a need for polish ahead of next year's World Cup in Brazil.

"As a front-line, when we dominate as much as we did in the game with possession, you want end product," she said.

"It's about finding those passes and getting those shots off.

"It did feel good those first 15 minutes (controlling possession) ... the stats showed that.

"It's good to keep the ball, but we want to create and score goals."
