The Matildas have just beaten New Zealand 2-1 in Game 1 of the International Friendly. The Matildas scored their two goals in stoppage time at the end of the match. What a finish.

While Herald Sun describes the match as a friendly, it may also be considered as the final game of South American (CONMEBOL) qualification for the FIFA World Cup later this year. BeIN Sport has the Australian rights to CONMEBOL qualifiers and will be a favourite to air this clash.

It is not a friendly. It is a World Cup Qualifier. But it is a pseudo-friendly as the match will have no bearing on qualification (other than needing to be played to satisfy FIFA).
I believe that they do have the rights, yes. They are the South American qualifiers rights holders.
You’d think that a FTA channel (even just SBS or 10) would want to purchase the rights should beIN entertain a simulcast.
UPDATE: the Leeds United-Crystal Palace clash will be held at Optus Stadium, to be followed by Manchester United v Aston Villa the following night.

Melbourne City will host Western United in the A-League grand final at AAMI Park next Saturday night, after edging out Adelaide United 2-1 in extra time in this afternoon’s semi-final second leg.
It will be the first all-Victorian A-League grand final, and the first time since 2013 the two grand finalists are from the same state.
