re: Womens' World Cup: Lionesses BEAT Matildas' 3-1 & Go Through to FINALS
Australia Beats Denmark to Reach The Womens' World Cup Quarter-Finals
Co-hosts Australia Reached The Womens' World Cup Quarter-Finals With a Clinical Win Over Denmark in The Last 16 at a Packed Stadium Australia.
BBC 7AUG 2023
Australia 2 Denmark 0
Caitlin Foord put the Matildas ahead in the 29th minute, finishing from a tight angle following a great pass from Mary Fowler.
Hayley Raso added a second in the 70th minute with a driven finish after good work from Emily van Egmond.
Australia will face either France or Morocco in the last eight on Saturday.
Australia had only ever reached the last eight at the World Cup once before, in 2015, losing their four other knockout matches across the years.
They started slowly against Denmark but Stadium Australia in Sydney erupted after Fowler's great turn and pass set up Foord's opener on the break.
Encouraged by their goal the Matildas dominated the rest of the half with another Foord effort deflecting off Denmark defender Rikke Sevecke and dropping narrowly wide.
