Italy puts an end to the drought of nearly 30 years of the Women's World Cup, England is also progressing

If winning a win against one of the favorites, Australia, in their first World Cup match, was not enough, but Italy has already exceeded its cohort of Group C, which also includes Brazil , a powerful engine.

"The emotions I feel are a joy, a pure joy," said Italian coach Milena Bertolini, quoted by FIFA. "We wanted to move to the group stage and do it after two matches is a great satisfaction for us.

"The girls were great, staying grounded in relation to all the attention and coverage that we are getting back home."

The use of VAR, or a video assistant referee, continues to divide the opinion, but when referee Anna-Marie Keighley used it to check for a possible penalty, it seemed that the good result had been achieved.

Initially, Keighley had not indicated where Allyson Swaby had made contact with Barbara Bonansea but had changed her mind.

Sydney Schneider dipped to his left to stop Girelli, but the kick was resumed after the goalkeeper was declared out of line before it came.

The retakes may have justified the decision, but much more serious violations of the rule are rarely invoked.

Second chance

Girelli took advantage of his second chance, going this time to the goalkeeper's right in the 12th minute.

If it were lucky for Girelli, there would be others to come. Girelli's second goal in the 25th minute deviated from his thigh from a corner and in the 46th minute, Schneider missed his shot and the ball was found in the goal behind the shoulder of Girelli.

For Jamaica, ranked 53rd, all that was left to do was limit the damage and see if she could score a first goal in the World Cup.

It was almost in the 58th minute when Italian goaltender Laura Giuliani threw the ball at his feet. Khadija Shaw, Jamaica's biggest offensive threat, caught up with her before Italy's recovery.

Seconds later, Shaw saw the yellow when his right foot crashed into the mouth of Italian skipper Sara Gama on a scissor kick.

Giuliani managed a fingertip stop in the 68th minute.

Substitute Aurora Galli then scored Italy's fourth goal with a striking right-foot shot that Schneider got a hand on. She completed the scoring at the 81st goal by sprinting to get behind the Jamaican defense and slalom.

England ends up finding Correa past

England, ranked third, was slow to find a way to overtake inspired goalkeeper Vanina Correa in Le Havre, which did not necessarily surprise Lionesses boss Phil Neville.

"I was standing in the warm-up and watching their goalkeeper," said Neville after the game. "She was amazing at warm-up Normally, when you're like that before the game, you're not like that in the game." But she was amazing. "

Correa extended her left arm to prevent Nikita Parris from the penalty spot and later in the first half, she used her left foot to frustrate Beth Mead.

And she continued to play in the star at the start of the second half, preventing Parris from staying at close range.

Her positioning was perfect for easily catching Jodie Taylor 's head, but the best scorer in Euro 2017 managed the long – awaited breakthrough of England in the 62nd minute as a result of a rare attack from Argentina.

England was therefore able to counter and the fast Mead developed a perfect center for Taylor, who was returned home. Correa this time had no chance.

This was the only goal, a credit for an Argentinian team that, several years ago, had not been ranked in the world rankings due to inactivity and had been virtually abandoned by its national federation.

Not happy with his team's Scotland performance against Scotland last Sunday, Neville did not complain on Friday.

"In fact, I thought we were exceptional," he said. "I really enjoyed the game." I enjoyed our performance, I stayed here four days ago and I lightly criticized them. </ P> <p> It's because of the standards we've established, but I'm proud of each one of them tonight. "

England and Japan will face Wednesday to decide the winner of Group D, while Argentina will face Scotland without a win.
