• Australia defeat Iran 4-0 in one-sided Group A match

• Mary Fowler starts and scores while Alanna Kennedy nets brace

Midfielder Amy Sayer, in her first tournament start, opened the scoring in the 8th minute after a curling cross spiralled over Iran goalkeeper Maryam Yektaei’s outstretched arms.
