Day 11 recap: One Nordic side goes home, while another records a historic victory, on WED 06 JUL 2011.
» Equatorial Guinea 00-03 Brazil: Brazil missed an early opportunity to take the lead, as neither ÉRIKA nor CRISTIANE could redirect a MARTA free kick into the net. But Érika and Cristiane both scored early on in the second half, and Cristiane added a penalty in stoppage time.
» Australia 02-01 Norway: The teams were tied for second in Group D, but with Australia ahead on goal difference, the Norwegians needed a win. They drew first blood in the 56th minute as Elise THORSNES scored on a free ball in the area. But Kyah SIMON immediately equalised at the other end, and she headed in a second just three minutes from time. Norway fail to reach the elimination phase of a Women’s World Cup for the first time.
» Korea DPR 00-00 Colombia: Already eliminated from Group C, these two teams leave Germany with a point each, but without scoring any goals.
» Sweden 02-01 United States: A penalty from Lisa DAHLKVIST and a deflected free kick from Nilla FISCHER put Sweden ahead by two at the interval, and despite one goal from Abby WAMBACH and a furious hunt for another, the US lost a group phase match for the first time in Women’s World Cup history. Regardless, both teams were already through to the next round.
