Argentina and South Africa neutralize each other
Argentina, trailing by two goals, managed to come back to the score against South Africa (2-2) on Friday July 28 in Dunedin, New Zealand. The two teams from group G still have a chance to see the round of 16 of the Women’s World Cup.
On an offering, South African Linda Motlhalo opened the scoring (30th), before her teammate Thembi Kgatlana doubled the lead (66th). In a committed and rhythmic match, the Argentines continued to put pressure and came back in thirteen minutes thanks to Sophia Braun (74th) and Romina Nunez (79th).
With this draw, the two teams (3rd and 4th in group G with one point) are still in the running for qualification for the round of 16, before Sweden-Italy (leading the group with three points each) on Saturday.
