The performances of Heyman have been important for Canberra this season.
The striker leads the club with seven goals, which is tied for the second highest in the league in 2022/2023, three of which have been the tone-setting first of the match.
Western Sydney Wanderers’ leading lights in attack have been Sophie Harding, Olivia Price, and Amy Harrison, who have each netted twice.
