Clare Hunt thought she was going to the World Cup as a fan – now she’s close to playing at it, writes Tom SmithiesOne of Clare Hunt’s close friends may be in for something of a treat come late June, when the Matildas’ World Cup squad is announced. Nothing illustrates the speed of Hunt’s ascent into the World Cup reckoning than the fact that only weeks ago she assumed she would be going as a spectator. Clare Hunt’s form for the Wanderers has catapaulted her into World Cup reckoning. Clare Hunt, folks 🙌Although… not everyone agreed! 'Just two country girls' 🇦🇺❤️After her @TheMatildas debut last night, Clare Hunt (right) received a touching throwback from fellow Matilda @CarpenterEllie (left) on her Instagram 👏You love to see it!

He doesn’t practice tap-ins, just worldies: Nestory Irankunda explains his ‘Ronaldo-esque’ stunner

“That is Ronaldo-esque of the Cristiano variety,” Network 10 co-commentator Andy Harper beamed during Sunday’s 1-1 draw between Melbourne Victory and Adelaide. Victory thought they had sealed back-to-back wins in the Pride Cup thanks to Bruno Fornaroli’s 81st-minute penalty. So I chose to use the new technique I’ve been learning and it worked.”It is a technique he has seemingly already mastered. Irankunda is yet to start in 2022-23, but he has come off the bench to score twice for the Reds. A late strike from teenage sensation Nestory Irankunda in the 87th minute rescued a point for the visitors.

Osimhen hails ‘demanding’ Spalletti as Napoli sweep past Empoli to close in on title glory

Victor Osimhen believes Napoli's success is the result of great leadership as Luciano Spalletti's team moved a step nearer to their first Serie A title for 33 years. The Nigerian striker scored for an eighth consecutive league game, taking his goal tally in Serie A to 10 since the turn of the year, with Napoli winning 2-0 at Empoli on Saturday. This time Napoli never looked like surrendering their advantage after getting ahead, with Ardian Ismajli's own goal followed by Osimhen tucking away a close-range chance. Spalletti made a tactical reshuffle, and it was Napoli who looked the likelier scorers of a third goal, even with their numerical disadvantage. "Today we had last year's defeat in mind and we were very concentrated to be able to redeem ourselves and get the win," Osimhen said.

Wellington snatch late ALM point against Mariners

A late Wellington equaliser and three red cards to Central Coast – including coach Nick Montgomery – have added to the recent run of Mariners hiccups, as they were held to a 1-1 A-League Men’s draw by Wellington in Gosford. The Mariners had the bulk of the chances until centre back Brian Kaltak was sent off in the 58th minute. The point put the Mariners into outright second a point ahead of Adelaide United, but the Gosford-based team have won only one of their last six games. Former Phoenix defender McGarry scored in just his third game for the Mariners since joining from Newcastle. Both sides had a number of chances in a frantic period before halftime, but the Mariners paid the price for not converting their late opportunities.

The rising Mariner drawing comparisons to a Socceroo centre-back – ‘He reminds me a lot of him’

With Nectar Triantis away on international duty, Farrell was surprisingly given the nod ahead of both Dan Hall and Cameron Windust in centre-back alongside Brian Kaltak. He’s a great left back but he’s great on the ball an the has all the attributes to be a great centre-half, much in the mould of Kye Rowles. He’s left footed, he played for me in NPL and NYL (National Youth League) a lot at left centre-back so it’s not unfamiliar to him or me,” he told Paramount +. “Right now, with (James) McGarry coming in, it just gives us good balance on that left hand side. “I thought the combination with him and McGarry worked really well on that left hand side,” Gill said.
