Italy will face either Holland or Japan in the quarter-finals
A goal in each half gave Italy a deserved victory, although China played some neat stuff for long periods without ever looking capable of penetrating the Italians’ iron defence. Italy were enterprising and took their opportunities with a deadliness that China lacked. They become the sixth European team into the quarter-finals, where they will play either Japan or the European champions, Holland.
90+1 min: Giugilaini tries to crown Italy’s victory by blasting into the net from long range, but her shot buzzes wide at the near post.
