Also crucial was a brilliant one-handed save by Arnold in the 107th minute after a rifle shot by 19-year-old French striker Vicki Becho.
“I’ve been trying to organize my thoughts and I kind of realized what just happened and it’s still penetrating me a bit,” Arnold told Channel 7.
“I think it will take a few days, but it’s going fast.”
“I think maybe we’ll have time to celebrate tonight and then we’ll revisit it tomorrow and move on to the next game.”
It was the third straight game the Matildas kept their opponent against clean sheets and their 13th win in 15 games.
