A meeting between Sweden and the US in the first knockout stage of the Women’s World Cup was confirmed on Wednesday as the Scandinavian side beat Argentina 2-0
In the other Group G game, Italy and South Africa played out a wildly entertaining thriller which saw arguably the most bizarre goal of this World Cup and confirmed the South African side’s spot in the knockout stages. Banyana Banyana’s 3-2 win at the Wellington Regional Stadium marked the African nation’s first win ever at a Women’s World Cup having qualified twice.
Italian defender Benedetta Orsi looked to pass back to goalkeepr Francesca Durante under pressure from the South African forwards – but only succeeded in rolling the ball into the corner of the net. Durante wore a look of bemusement in the aftermath of the moment. The second half saw something of an onslaught from South Africa, who continually regained the ball high up the pitch and got numbers forward en masse.
