Women’s World Cup: South Africa Secure Last-16 Spot With Stunning Win Over Italy

South Africa are into the last 16 after claiming their first Women’s World Cup win with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Italy yesterday.

Thembi Kgatlana’s stoppage-time winner came after Italy fought back to level with an Arianna Caruso header.

The late drama completed an emotional fortnight for the South African goalscorer, who said she has lost three family members over the last two weeks.

Meanwhile, Jamaica produced a shocker as they held Brazil to a goalless draw to reach the knockout stage for the first time while condemning the South Americans to their earliest exit since 1995.

Jamaica could face Colombia or Germany in the last 16.
