Some good work from Coppock soon after saw her turn provider for Nikolina Bucolo to slot home and have the Tigeress’ two up at the break.

Midway through the second half Fitzroy made it three when Ebru Efe cut onto her right foot and struck high for a three goal advantage, before Coppock turned her player and fired home with a bit of fortune making it 4-0. Amazons hit back through a well placed Bianca Lee free kick, but Fitzroy were too strong as a long throw was touched home by Coppock for her hat trick, with a late strike from Coppock taking her tally to four in the convincing win.
