Two more matches in the round of 16 of the 2019 Women’s World Cup were played on SUN 23 JUN 2019, as the host nation survived its sternest test yet.

• England 03-00 Cameroon: England earned a trip to the quarterfinals on goals by Steph HOUGHTON, Ellen WHITE, and Alex GREENWOOD. Cameroon, however, had opportunities to make their way back into the game early in the second half, when Ajara NCHOUT’s goal was disallowed for offside following a video review, and Alexandra TAKOUNDA’s open look at goal was saved by Karen BARDSLEY. In the end, though, England moved on and will face Norway on Thursday.
• France 02-01 Brazil [F/OT]: Les Bleues believed they had the lead midway through the first half, but after a video review, Valérie GAUVIN’s goal was ruled out for a foul. Both sides scored early in the second half, Gauvin in the 52nd minute, and THAISA equalising for Brazil in the 63rd. Both sides came close to scoring again in normal time, but the 90 minutes ended with the scores still level. France captain Amandine HENRY delighted the Le Havre crowd in the 106th minute by finishing Amel MAJRI’s cross. Les Bleues advance to the quarterfinals for the third consecutive Women’s World Cup, where they will meet the Spain-United States winner on Friday.
