Norway sink Australia in shootout to reach last eight via SABCNewsOnline

Norway’s Isabell Herlovsen opened the scoring shortly after the half-hour but Elise Kellond-Knight’s direct corner seven minutes from time sent the game into extra time – during which Australia’s Alanna Kennedy was sent off.

Australia set a high tempo from the start and went close in the opening minute when Sam Kerr collected a through ball from Caitlin Foord and fired just wide. There had to be VAR action and it happened five minutes from the interval when a ball bounced off Maria Thorisdottir’s shoulder and referee Riem Hussein awarded Australia a penalty – a decision that was overturned after a three-minute VAR review.

But Kellond-Knight sent a corner straight into the far corner of the net with seven minutes left, only her second goal in 110 appearances for her country, to send the game to extra time.
