With just three wins in his tenure, Tony Gustavsson wants the Matildas to show their 3-1 victory over Brazil was not a flash in the pan.

Melbourne City coach Patrick Kisnorbo says the A-League Men champions still consider themselves the "hunters" as they prepare for their title defence.

Tony Gustavsson has enjoyed his first win on Australian soil but said the Matildas can do better as they prepare to face Brazil again on Tuesday.

The Matildas returned home to a tumultuous backdrop of distractions but a win over Brazil has them celebrating a first victory in Australia in nearly two years.

A second-half cameo from Emily van Egmond has helped the Matildas to a 3-1 win over Brazil and Tony Gustavsson to his first victory on home soil as coach.

Macarthur FC have been dealt a huge blow ahead of the A-League Men campaign with skipper and goalkeeper Adam Federici retiring due to injury.
