At the 2019 Women’s World Cup on MON 24 JUN 2019, Spain turned up the heat on the title holders.

• Spain 01-02 United States: The US took the early lead on a spot kick by Megan RAPINOE. Just two minutes later, Spain drew level when Jennifer HERMOSO made US keeper Alyssa NAEHER pay for a defensive giveaway. The match soon became a defensive struggle, with the teams managing only four shots on target between them. The deadlock was broken after Rose LAVELLE was tripped up in the area by Virginia TORRECILLA in the 71st minute, resulting in Rapinoe’s second successful penalty of the day. The US then held on to advance to the quarterfinals and the hotly anticipated matchup with France.
• Sweden 01-00 Canada: The Blågult braved the hot conditions in Paris and took the lead in the 55th minute, when Stina BLACKSTENIUS finished on a breakaway. Thirteen minutes later, Canada were awarded a penalty when a video review showed that Kosovare ASLLANI had played the ball with her arm. Sweden keeper Hedvig LINDAHL, however, turned away Janine BECKIE’s attempt from the spot. Sweden make their sixth trip to the quarterfinals, where they will face Germany in a rematch of the 2003 final.
