| This is Sarah Walsh's last match as a member of the Australian team, battling injury to retain fitness and pursuing her career in business marketing she says, in her own words, "I couldn't see myself pushing through to the 2015 World Cup and felt it was the right time to step aside and let our next generation players grow into my position." On the bright side Walshy will continue at least for the coming season for the mighty Sydney FC. This also marked the final match for Pia Sundhage as coach of the USA. This was a friendly match. | ||||

| Having been invited to particiapte (Australia accepted on August 30) the Australians would have to win the group to join Japan, DPR Korea and Korea Republic in the EAFF Women’s East Asian Cup 2013, being held in Seoul from 20-28 July 2013. As far as China is concerned at least they're fielding 3 teams... nice way to improve the odds. This was an East Asian Football Federation Cup qualifying match. | ||||

| Given a superior goal difference to their opponents Austalia could live with a draw to qualify for the tournament proper. However in this, Tom Sermanni's last as coach before he heads off to coach the USA, that proved to be out of reach. This was an East Asian Football Federation Cup qualifying match. | ||||
