The Hyundai A-League squad, on a similar note, will be looking to bounce back from last Saturday's match against Victory that saw them dominated 4-0. Melbourne Victory ran rampant against the Wanderers and there is no doubt that the squad will be looking to make amends and secure their first three home points at home this season. Central Coast Mariners come into the match after a disappointing loss to Sydney FC.

The experienced striker has played a very important role at the Red & Black in creating a number of chances and filling the leadership slot that has been missing in the Wanderers' front third for a number of seasons. Yet to score her first goal for the club, if tonight's the night Khamis gets onto the scoresheet it will no doubt mark another memorable moment in the striker's extensive career. Khamis' impact on Australian football cannot be measured. Countless goals, appearances and inspiring fightbacks from injury have shaped one of Australia's most prolific female strikers. There are a whole generation of young girls that have grown up watching Khamis, no doubt inspired by her resilience and determination on and off the park.
