Three teams with attacking firepower were sent home from the Women’s World Cup on SUN 21 JUN 2015.

• Brazil 00-01 Australia: Brazil completed Group E play without conceding a goal, but in the rain in Moncton, the inspired Matildas found a way through. After 79 goalless minutes, a shot by Lisa DE VANNA was saved by keeper LUCIANA, only for the rebound to reach Kyah SIMON for the finish. Brazil had a late opportunity to equalise, but Lydia WILLIAMS made the save on a header by CRISTIANE. Australia now visit Edmonton for Saturday’s quarterfinal against the Japan-Netherlands winner.
• France 03-00 Korea Rep: Les Bleues delighted the Montréal crowd with three goals, all in the first ten minutes of either half. Marie Laure DELIE scored twice, and Élodie THOMIS added the other. France remain in Montréal to meet Germany on Friday.
• Canada 01-00 Switzerland: Playing in front of a near capacity crowd in Vancouver, the Canadian squad had few chances in the first half; in fact, their best look on goal was actually a cross by Josée BÉLANGER that struck the bar. But just seven minutes after the interval, Bélanger beat Swiss keeper Gaëlle THALMANN, and Canada held on for the win. They return to Vancouver on Saturday to face the Norway-England winner.
