MELBOURNE, Australia – A Women’s World Cup that had been in danger of losing both its co-hosts before the knockout phase enjoyed a vital shot in the arm when Australia raced into the last 16 with a 4-0 trouncing of Canada.
Instead, Tony Gustavsson’s Australia found their groove without the services of injured captain Sam Kerr to eliminate Canada and send most of the 28,000-strong Melbourne crowd home happy.“This gift of a home World Cup is meeting all its KPIs,” sports writer Greg Baum said in The Age newspaper. Australia’s opening match against Ireland drew 75,784 fans to Stadium Australia in Sydney, a record crowd for a women’s soccer match in the country.
“Every single fan out there, thank you!” a fired-up Gustavsson said after the Canada rout, jabbing his finger into a TV camera.
