Germany, China enter quarters in women’s World Cup
Edmonton (Canada): Germany overpowered Sweden 4-1 and China ousted Cameroon 1-0 to enter the quarter-finals of the women’s football World Cup.
In Ottawa, Germany’s top scorer Anja Mittag on Saturday intercepted a poor pass to shoot the goal into the far post for a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute, reports Xinhua.
Mittag earned a penalty 10 minutes before the break and Celia Sasic made it 2-0, and she headed in her second goal of the game in the 78th minute.
Sofia Jakobsson pulled one back for Sweden later but Dzsenifer Marozsan’s looping shot gave Germany convincing 4-1 win.
Germany wait for the match between France and South Korea for the quarter-final opponents.
In Edmonton, Wang tapped in a perfect cross of Li Dongna to beat Cameroon goalkeeper Annette Ngo Ndom in the 12th minute for the sole goal of the match.
China put much efforts on defence from the very beginning and never changed their strategy even with a one-goal lead.
Cameroon came all out in the second half, leaving more space in the back when Wang, who used to play the center back but was played as a forward for this match, got at least three solo scoring chances but failed to extend the lead.
China will meet the winners of the match between the United States and Colombia.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
