In front of an audience of more than 75 thousand people, Australia kept alive this Monday (7) the dream of seeking the unprecedented title of the Women’s World Cup. Hosts of this edition alongside New Zealand, the Australians beat Denmark, by 2 to 0, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
Caitlin Foord, in the 29th minute of the first half, after a beautiful counterattack, and Hayley Raso, in the 25th minute of the final stage, scored the goals that guaranteed the celebration of most of the 75,784 fans who were at the Accor Stadium, in Sydney, in the Australia.
The hosts have advanced from the group stage for the fifth consecutive time at this Worlds, but this is only the second time they have managed to win the first knockout round. Until then, this had only happened in 2015, when the Oceania team eliminated Brazil in the edition played in Canada.
For the sequence of the competition, the housewives still had good news. Recovered from a calf injury, striker Sam Kerr returned to the pitch after spending the three duels of the first phase on the reserve bench.
Team captain, he received the armband as soon as he came on for Raso, in the 33rd minute of the second half, and had a good chance to increase the scoreboard, but failed in his aim.
Now, Australia will wait for the winner of the confrontation between France and Morocco, this Tuesday (8).
