Brazil Advance to 2019 Women's World Cup Knockout Stage After 1-0 Win vs. Italy

Marta scored the winner for Brazil against Italy at the 2019 Women's World Cup on Tuesday as the Selecao booked their place in the knockout stages.

The 33-year-old struck the only goal of the game from the penalty spot on 74 minutes after Debinha was brought down in the area by Italy defender Elena Linari.

Brazil had earlier gone close when Andressinha hit the crossbar with a free-kick, while Italy had a goal ruled out when Cristiana Girelli's effort was correctly disallowed for offside.

What's Next?

Italy progress as group winners despite the defeat, while Brazil go through in second place.
