WED 29 JUN 2011 came close to seeing an upset bigger than any in Women’s World Cup history.
» Norway 01-00 Equatorial Guinea: Both goals were under assault throughout the match, with nobody threatening more than talismanic Eq Guinea captain AÑONMAN. In the end, though, it was teenager Emilie HAAVI who finally made the breakthrough in the 84th minute.
» Brazil 01-00 Australia: In a surprising bit of role reversal, the Matildas were the more brightly attacking side throughout much of this match. ROSANA, though, saved face for Brazil with a well taken goal from the top of the area. Lisa DE VANNA had a wonderful opportunity to equalise in the 87th minute with only the keeper ANDRÉIA to beat, but she sent it over the frame. Brazil and Norway are now joint leaders of Group D.
