A brilliant one-handed save in the 107th minute by Arnold from a drawn shot by 19-year-old French striker Vicki Becho was also crucial.
“I’ve been trying to get my mind together and sort of realized what just happened, and it’s still kind of sinking in,” Arnold told Channel 7.
“I think it’s going to take me a few days, but it’s a quick turnaround.
“I think maybe tonight we’ll have time to celebrate and then we’ll look at it tomorrow and move on to the next game.”
It was the third straight game the Matildas held to a draw and their 13th win in 15 games.
