The United States reached the knockout stages of the Women's World Cup with a 0-0 draw against Portugal on Tuesday, surviving a late onslaught from the tournament debutants to keep their title defence alive at Eden Park.
The USA struggled to impose themselves against opponents ranked 21st in the world and appearing at their first World Cup, and Portugal almost won the game in injury time when substitute Ana Capeta hit the post.
MELBOURNE: After appearing in six Women's World Cups through a glittering career, Marta may be set for her last match for Brazil if the team fall short in their danger game against Jamaica.
AUCKLAND : The United States held on by a thread to keep their Women's World Cup title defence alive on Tuesday, stumbling into the knockout stages with a 0-0 draw against debutants Portugal at Eden Park.
DUNEDIN, New Zealand : Esmee Brugts netted two long-range stunners as the Netherlands rediscovered their scoring touch in a crushing 7-0 win over Vietnam on Tuesday, reaching the Women's World Cup knockouts in style and locking up top spot in Group E on goal difference.
Italy play South Africa at the Women's World Cup on Wednesday following a 5-0 thrashing by Sweden that left Italian players in tears, but coach Milena Bertolini is confident they learned vital lessons for the crucial game in Wellington, New Zealand.
Since Sweden have already locked up their spot in the round of 16 at the Women's World Cup, coach Peter Gerhardsson said the selection of his squad for Wednesday's final group game might come down to who is well-rested and who could use some rest.
Sweden are already into the knockout phase of the Women's World Cup but are eager to maintain their winning momentum in Wednesday's final group game against Argentina, captain Magdalena Eriksson declared. Sweden secured their last-16 spot with a 5-0 destruction of Italy on Saturday, following a comeback to beat South Africa 2-1 in their opening game. Those results mean they have almost certainly sewn up top spot in Group G, with their superior goal difference meaning that even a defeat against Argentina is unlikely to knock them off the summit.
