Matildas Game Finish Time Tonight: Kickoff and Full Time for Australia vs France

The Matildas face France tonight in a crucial Women's World Cup quarterfinal match. Millions of Australians will be watching.

Tonight, the Matildas will face off against France in what is being hailed as one of the most important matches in Australia's football history. With a spot in the Women's World Cup semifinals at stake, millions of Australians are eagerly awaiting the clash.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 5:00 pm (AEST) on Saturday, August 12, and will take place at Brisbane Stadium in Queensland. The Matildas secured their place in the quarterfinals with a victory over Denmark earlier in the week, thanks to goals from Caitlin Foord and Hayley Raso. This win came after a setback when star striker Sam Kerr was sidelined with a calf injury, but she made a triumphant return to the field in the previous match.

It remains to be seen whether Kerr will be fit enough to start tonight's game, but her presence on the pitch is sure to provide a boost to her teammates. The Matildas have already tasted victory against France in a warm-up match for the World Cup, and they will be hoping to repeat that success. France, ranked fifth in the world, has reached the quarterfinals for the third consecutive time.

If the Matildas emerge victorious tonight, they will face either England or Colombia in the semifinals. The winner of that match will then have a chance to advance to the World Cup final on Sunday, August 20. However, due to the generous amounts of additional time being applied to matches in this World Cup, it is difficult to predict exactly when the game will finish.

Taking into account the kick-off time, two 45-minute halves, a 15-minute half-time break, and approximately 10 minutes of additional time, it is estimated that tonight's clash could finish around 6:55 pm AEST. This is assuming that a result is reached within the regulation 90 minutes of play.

The Matildas have had a mixed journey in the tournament so far. They started with a 1-0 victory over Republic of Ireland, despite the absence of star captain Sam Kerr. However, they suffered a setback in their second match, losing 3-2 to Nigeria. The team bounced back with a crucial win against Canada in the Round of 16, and they carried that momentum into their match against Denmark, securing a 2-0 victory.

As the Matildas prepare to take on France tonight, the hopes of a nation rest on their shoulders. Australian fans will be eagerly watching, hoping for another historic win that will propel their team one step closer to World Cup glory.
