The Australian national team of women, also known as the "Matildas", celebrated its entry into the semi-finals at the World Cup in Australia. After a dramatic penalty shootout against France, they were able to prevail 7: 6 and are therefore in their history in the semi -finals of the tournament for the first time. Now hope for another success against the European champion England.

The team of chief coach Tony Gustafsson showed great courage and fighting spirit to win against France. Gustafsson praised the team for their commitment and emphasized that this game was not only about the medal, but above all about the heart and the will. Now the Matildas will be against England in the semi -finals next Wednesday, which will take place in Sydney.

In the other semi -finals, Spain and Sweden meet. The games will be played in Auckland on Tuesday. The semi -finalists will therefore fight hard to move into the final and the fans in front of the TV will certainly be watched.

The quarter-finals between Australia and France was one of the most exciting in the World Cup history. The longest penalty shootout of all time was held with 20 shooters. The goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold could have won the victory for Australia, but failed with a post shot. In the end, Cortnee Vine was the last to hit the point and secured Australia.

The French team unfortunately had to give up again in the quarter-finals, as at their home World Cup in 2019. Coach Hervé Renard had replaced a goalkeeper shortly before the extension, but this measure did not lead to success. Renard encouraged his team to keep his head up and think of the Olympic Games in Paris next year.

In the other quarter -finals, the English Lionesses met Colombia, the horrors of the German team. The English women had difficulties against the combative Colombians, but were able to prevail with a 2-1 victory. So they are in the World Cup semi-final for the second time after 2015.

The women's football championship in Australia continues to offer exciting games and emotional moments. The Matildas from Australia and the Lionesses from England will fight for the final on Wednesday, while Spain and Sweden measure their strength on Tuesday. The fans can look forward to more captivating football action.
