We are into the knockout phase of the FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019™, and the Matildas will take on former world champions Norway in the Round of 16 on Sunday morning (AEST).
Ante Milicic's side booked their place in the do-or-die game courtesy of Wednesday's (AEST) comprehensive 4-1 victory over Jamaica, with skipper Sam Kerr scoring all four of Australia's goals to put herself joint-top of the leaderboard for the tournament's Golden Boot.

RESILIENCE, RONALDO AND SAM KERR'S NANNA: How social media saw the game
Norway, who won this competition back in 1995 and have four times reached the semi-finals, qualified for the knockout stage by finishing runners-up to hosts France in Group A.
The Scandinavians eased to a 3-0 win over Nigeria in their opening match, before narrowly losing 2-1 to the impressive French in game two.
Their third outing saw them pitched against Korea Republic, and penalty-kicks early in each half – scored by Caroline Graham Hansen (four minutes) and Isabell Herlovsen (50) – left them with six points and a second-place finish in the group.
Whatever happens, Sunday's game will be decided on the night, with the winner progressing to the quarter-finals, and the loser going home.
