She grabs her axe and starts to take a swing. As she does, press Melee in time with the on-screen prompt. If your timing is good, Lara hits Mathias in the back as he tackles her.

Aim at Mathias, and when the button prompts appear on screen, alternate pressing Primary and Alternate Fire (LT/RT on the Xbox, L1/R1 on the PlayStation) or, if you're playing with keyboard and mouse, alternate pressing the Left and Right Mouse Buttons. He'll pull out a shotgun and attempt to return fire, but if you keep shooting...
