This was a great victory for the Scandinavians, and for the fourth in a row in the tournament. The goal difference in 4 games is 10-3. Impressive!
Australia performed a miracle

Although it is also impossible to ignore the efforts of the Australians who through Samantha Kerr, escaped defeat in regulation time in the 89th minute. The miracles began over overtime. The British missed the penalty kick at the start, and the Australians then scored 2 goals. The return goal of Ellen White, who scored a hat-trick, has changed nothing. The final score was 4-3 - a dramatic victory for Australia. This was the best match in the tournament, without a doubt.
