Australia won a penalty shootout 7-6 against France after their quarterfinal ended 0-0 in regulation and extra time on Saturday.
The French were playing in the quarterfinals for the fourth consecutive time but its only win remains its first, beating England on penalties in 2011.
Becho was in the thick of the late action, firing a shot early in the second period of extra time that Arnold pushed over her right post. The Australian keeper also blocked shots from Grace Geyoro and veteran striker Eugenie Le Sommer late to take the game to a shootout.Article content At 6-6, Kenza Dali had two chances for France, both stopped by Arnold. The first went to VAR and Dali was given another shot. The retaken penalty was well saved by Arnold, who celebrated wildly near the goalposts — after checking with the referee.Article content
“Success is when you leave it all out there,” Australia coach Tony Gustavsson said. “You play with your heart and give it your best, and with the crest on your chest. The players tonight, they represent so much more than 90-minute football.”The tests keep coming for England at the Women’s World Cup and the Lionesses keep roaring.
Kiera Walsh was then sidelined after hurting her knee in the second game of the group stage and Lauren James is serving a two-game suspension for stepping on Nigeria defender Michelle Alozie in the round of 16.“We’ve had lots of challenges, and we’ve got through these challenges,” Wiegman said. “It showed the resilience of the team.”
The Lionesses produced arguably their most composed play as they controlled possession and probed Colombia’s half before Lauren Hemp seized on a mistake by goalkeeper Catalina Perez to poke the ball over the line in the seventh minute of first-half stoppage time.Article content Wiegman led the Lionesses to victory in the European Championship last year, having won that competition with Netherlands in 2017.
