Last night’s FIFA Women’s World Cup match between Australia and Canada was a ratings hit for Seven, as 1.54 million metro viewers tuned in to watch the crucial game that kept the Matildas’ campaign alive.
The Matildas scored its second goal when there were less than 10 minutes to go for the first half. However, a VAR check has produced an offside ruling.
