There’s huge celebrations in Sydney where Australia comfortably made it through to the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup with a 2-0 victory over Denmark. Mani Djazmi spoke to jubilant Matildas fans and the ABC’s Samantha Lewis to discuss the goals, increased expectations and the return of captain Sam Kerr for her first appearance since injury at her home World Cup. Plus, England survived a scare to beat Nigeria on penalties after it finished goalless remarkably after 90 minutes. Who will they face in the quarterfinals?
