The second goal followed soon after, with Rose driving the ball up the pitch before delivering a beautiful pass to Isabelle, positioned perfectly at the back post to tap the back in.

The second half saw Rose intercepting another hit out and made a run into the D, scoring with just seconds remaining to make it 3-0.
