Co-hosts Australia beat France 7-6 in a dramatic penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw on Saturday to reach the FIFA Women’s World Cup semifinals for the first time, while England edged Colombia 2-1 to also progress.

The Matildas will play England in a blockbuster in Sydney on Wednesday, while Spain and Sweden face off the day before at Eden Park.
