Her last game?
Tearful departure of legend Marta after red card
A tearful exit for Brazil legend Marta! She was sent off with a red card for foul play against Spain (0:2) just before the break. For the now suspended 38-year-old star player, it could have been her last match on the international stage after announcing her retirement from the team.
Despite the 2-0 defeat, however, the South Americans progressed as one of the two best third-placed teams in the group and will now face the French hosts.
Further on despite 6-point deduction
Defending champions Canada also made it through to the quarter-finals despite a 6-point deduction following the drone scandal. After beating New Zealand and France, the Tokyo Olympic champions defeated Colombia 1-0. With three points instead of the regular nine, the Canadians finished second behind France in Group A and will now face Germany on Saturday.
Co-favorites USA will face Japan. The US girls defeated Australia 2:1 in Group B. The German team secured promotion with a 4:1 win over Zambia, while the Japanese beat Nigeria 3:1.
