Australia will now go to Sydney on Wednesday to face the winners of the final last-eight tie between England and Colombia | manilabulletin
Australia's players celebrate their quarterfinal victory against France after a penalty shoot-out during the 2023 Women's World Cup at the Brisbane Stadium in Brisbane on August 12, 2023. Australia now go to Sydney on Wednesday to face the winners of the final last-eight tie between England and Colombia.
Australia goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold missed a chance to win the shoot-out when her kick hit the post, but then saved twice from Kenza Dali after the VAR spotted she had both feet off her line the first time. Les Bleues had been hoping to get to the semi-finals for just the second time, following their defeat in the last four in 2011, but instead go home.
That was a let-off for the hosts, who were then grateful to Arnold for tipping a Le Sommer effort behind and for stopping a stinging Lakrar attempt following a corner. But Elisa De Almeida, shifted out to right-back for this game, raced in to produce a miraculous block with her thigh. Hayley Raso tried her luck with a rasping drive from outside the box, but Peyraud-Magnin saved and the Juventus goalkeeper topped that with a brilliant block to deny Fowler from point-blank range on the hour mark.
