Women's World Cup Review: Brazil through to last 16

Andressa Alves was on target as Brazil edged Spain 1-0 to book their spot in the Women's World Cup last 16 on Saturday.

Alves struck a minute before half-time, pouncing on a defensive error to inspire Brazil to back-to-back wins in Group E.

First-half goals from Ji So-yun and Jeon Ga-eul cancelled out Melissa Herrera's 17th-minute opener, before Villalobos denied South Korea.

Colombia's stunning victory saw team leapfrog France atop of Group F, going one point clear of England.
