Women's World Cup Review: Australia advance with historic win

Australia made Women's World Cup history after stunning Brazil 1-0 in their last-16 clash on Sunday.

The Matildas had never won a knockout fixture at a World Cup, despite progressing beyond the group stages in 2007 and 2011.

Alen Stajcic's women broke new ground for Australia in remarkable fashion thanks to substitute Kyah Simon, who netted the match-winning goal with 10 minutes remaining at Moncton Stadium in New Brunswick.
