SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia coach Tony Gustavsson was not impressed with every moment of every game but was delighted that the Women's World Cup co-hosts were developing a winning habit after sealing a Cup of Nations triumph on Wednesday.
Jamaica succumbed 3-0 on a wet evening in Newcastle to extend Australia's winning streak to seven games and make it three victories out of three for the hosts in a tournament also featuring Spain and the Czech Republic.
"The one thing that we did learn is what it feels to win and we can't discard that," Gustavsson said. "And the other thing we can realise when it comes to tournament play is that we can score goals and we can score goals in different ways." A fourth clean sheet in their last five games also pleased Gustavsson, despite a sometimes sluggish performance in Australia's third match in a week following the 4-0 win over the Czechs and a 3-2 victory against Spain.
