The Matildas have advanced to the quarter finals of the FIFA Women’s World Cup after defeating Denmark with a score of 2-0. They will now face France in a highly anticipated match, which will be a rematch of their “send off” game last month.
The Matildas last encountered the French team on Bastille Day, just a week before the start of the tournament. In front of a crowd of 50,629 at Marvel Stadium, the Matildas emerged victorious with a 1-0 win, thanks to a goal scored by attacking midfielder Mary Fowler in the 66th minute.
The French team secured their spot in the quarter finals with a dominant 4-0 victory over Morocco. Throughout the group stage, France achieved a draw with Jamaica and secured wins against Brazil and Panama, finishing at the top of Group F with seven points.
If the Matildas manage to overcome France, they will proceed to face the winner of the match between England and Colombia in the semi-finals. The stake will be a spot in the World Cup final, which will take place on Sunday, August 20. The potential opponents for the Matildas in the final are Spain, Netherlands, Japan or the third-ranked team, Sweden.
The Matildas’ quarter-final match against France is scheduled for Saturday, August 12, at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.
