The 1995 champions, notably without Ballon d’Or winner Ada Hegerberg at this tournament, were clinical from the spot after Elise Kellond-Knight’s late strike directly from a corner took the match to extra time and then penalties. Norway had led after 31 minutes as Isabell Herlovsen kept her composure to finish, before a VAR review overturned what would have been a harsh penalty given against Maria Thorisdottir for handball. Results | Fixtures The Matildas kept pushing for an equaliser and, after Sam Kerr saw an effort ruled out for offside, Kellond-Knight’s unorthodox effort levelled the tie. Norway peppered the Australia goal in the additional period, while Alanna Kennedy was sent off, but Vilde Risa’s spectacular lob was as close as they came, bouncing behind off the crossbar. Instead, the match went to penalties but Norway quickly took control as Kerr, Australia’s star performer, blazed over the top. Emily Gielnik then saw her tame effort parried away and Norway kept their cool, scoring through Caroline Graham Hansen, Guro Reiten, Maren Mjelde and Ingrid Engen to advance and play England or Cameroon next. #NOR will play the winner of #ENGCMR at 9pm on Thursday in Le Havre! #FIFAWWC pic.twitter.com/L6Dmq3OBxd — FIFA Women’s World…
