The unexpected start against New Zealand with defeat, ended up costing dearly in Las Leonas, who reached the last match of the group against Australia with three consecutive victories and the chance to be leading in the event of thrashing by 4-0 or more to the leaders of the area, who had suffered only one goal against. In that way, the Argentine team knew that the defeat without converting or by more than a goal left them below Spain in the standings, only by goal difference and that damn 3-0 of the debut. Thus, those of Retegui went out to the field of play looking to give a surprise.
In the first half, the dominance was clear and the chances of penalty corner (3 in total against 0 of the opponent) could not be taken advantage of. The second half of the match, however, found a team more played in attack, which again had clear opportunities for goal but failed in the definition, which australia was not going to do.With 11 to go, an error in defense of Raposo cost dearly and Fitzpatrick established the partial 1-0. In one of the last of the game, Chalker ruled the counter and thus closed the duel that left the team in last place. Now, The Lionesses will have a strong cross in the quarterfinals, which will be defined between the winner of the duel between Germany or the Netherlands, where the latter have a large advantage in their favor that will leave them as leaders in the event of a draw.
