Matildas goalkeeper Lydia Williams says she and her teammates want to "mark our place in history" as they close in on a Rio Olympic Games berth at the Asia qualifying tournament. 
The Matildas will play their second-last match against North Korea on Monday and remain undefeated after beating South Korea 2-0 on Friday night.
The win against South Korea has put them on the verge of an Olympic recall, and the players are excited and determined not to let their opportunity slip.
Canberra's Williams has conceded just one goal in the Matildas' hat-trick of wins and admits the chance to end a 12-year absence from the Olympics is tantalising.
"We work really hard on defence and we don't want to give any teams easy chances," Williams said.
"We really believe we could have placed at the World Cup [last year] and right now it's everyone's dream to go to the Olympics. That's really driving us. We go into every game wanting to get a result out of it to mark our place in history."
The Matildas play the relatively unknown North Korea and China in the last two matches of the tournament. Beating North Korea would almost certainly book a ticket to Rio, but they can still make it through if they lose.
There are nine permutations and scenarios that face the Matildas, depending on results over the next few days.
They are taking nothing for granted after suffering World Cup heartbreak at the hands of Japan last year. But the Matildas got their revenge in the opening game of the Olympic qualifiers and Japan are in danger of being knocked out of Rio contention four years after winning silver in London.
Williams is back to her best after two knee reconstructions and has been a brick wall in front of goals.
The Matildas only need a point from their clash against North Korea to make it to the Olympics.
"We've faced every game as if we're going to win it, and this game is no different," Williams said.
She admitted it was devastating when North Korea beat the Matildas for a spot at the London Games only for North Korea to be banned over a doping scandal. Five players tested positive to steroids.
"At the time it was devastating, but I think we've moved on; only half the team is still around from that tournament," Williams said.
"We've matured as a group and have a different philosophy. While that was heartbreaking at the time, we've definitely moved on and right now we want to go out there and beat every team," she said. "We really, really want this."
In the clash against South Korea, Kyah Simon netted her fourth goal in two matches by pouncing on a loose ball after captain Lisa De Vanna hit the post following a breakaway.
The fleet-footed De Vanna then earned a penalty, which was confidently dispatched by midfielder Emily van Egmond, playing in her 50th international. Both teams sought to attack at every opportunity but Australia played with confidence and had chances to increase the final margin.
Only the top two teams in the six-nation tournament will advance to Rio de Janeiro.
