Matildas midfielder Alex Chidiac has left some junior footballers with a memory they’ll remember forever during Australia’s 3-0 Olympic qualifying match against Chinese Taipei. The 24-year-old was videoed joining in with the kids for their half-time match on the pitch at HBF Park on Wednesday night.
Nathan Cleary watches on as Mary Fowler scores world-class goal. With her teammates warming up for the second half after a hard-fought 0-0 first half deadlock, Chidiac instead opted to have some fun with the kids in what was a touching moment, captured by Jack Lu on Instagram. “Alex Chidiac with that touching half-time moment,” Lu wrote alongside the vision. In the short video, Chidiac, who was an unused substitute for the match, is seen celebrating with the kids after assisting on a goal.
