Sam Kerr came off the bench as Australia surged into the Women's World Cup quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over Denmark in front of nearly 76,000 fans in Sydney on Monday.

The co-hosts will play France or Morocco on Saturday in Brisbane in the last eight after making easy work of a shot-shy Denmark.

To crown a positive evening for the Matildas, key striker and inspirational captain Kerr came on with 10 minutes left to huge cheers for her first action of the tournament after a calf injury.

The dangerous Caitlin Foord terrorised Denmark throughout and scored an excellent first after being set up by Mary Fowler on 29 minutes.
