  1. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 08:35 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    South Africa 1-1 Italy

    Almost the perfect response by Italy as they hit the woodwork from a corner.

    The ball is eventually scrambled away but there is a VAR check for a possible penalty...

    Wow. Nobody was expecting that. Italy were in control.

    She doesn't look and the keeper isn't in any sort of position because she thinks she's going out wide.

    GOAL - South Africa 1-1 Italypublished at 08:32 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    Benedetta Orsi OG (32 mins)

    A gift!

    What is Benedetta Orsi thinking? She has the ball under no pressure in defence but inexplicably decides to play a no look backpass that has far too much zip on it and Francesca Durante can only scramble unsuccessfully to try and keep it out.

    Game on!

  4. CLOSE!published at 08:31 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    Argentina 0-0 Sweden

    Olivia Schough should do better!

    Sofia Jakobsson does really well on the right to drive a dangerous ball in and Schough rises to meet it but directs her header wide.

    She was unmarked, though, and probably should have got that on target.

    South Africa 0-1 Italy

    A pause in play as Noko Matlou and Chiara Beccari clash heads as they both go up for a ball. Both appear to be okay after a bit of treatment.

  6. Postpublished at 08:27 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    Argentina 0-0 Sweden

    Very deep corner by Anna Sandberg and Romina Núñez plays it safe by heading behind for another set piece. Olivia Schough takes this one, swinging into the near post and forcing Argentina to head behind for another corner.

    Argentina 0-0 Sweden

    Still goalless as we approach the halfway point of the first half, although Mariana Larroquette isn't too far off with a free kick for Argentina.

  8. 'Sweden are getting frustrated'published at 08:24 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    Argentina 0-0 Sweden

    Argentina are doing the high press, they're not letting Sweden play and get out.

    Sweden don't like it. Argentina are front foot, aggressive.

    Sweden are getting frustrated and giving free-kicks away in dangerous areas.

    If Argentina are winning the free-kicks, they need to make the most of them.

    South Africa 0-1 Italy

    Sue Smith
    Former England international on BBC Two

    Much better from South Africa, they are getting bodies forward and look like they've got belief.

    There are numbers in the box, which is a positive.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 08:22 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    South Africa 0-1 Italy

    So unlucky!

    The ball sets up nicely for Robyn Moodaly right on the edge of the box and she hits a first-time strike with the outside of her boot that strikes the post.

    That will give South Africa some much needed belief as they look to get back level.

    It's hard getting a booking like that for Olivia Schough because you feel like you have to watch yourself for the rest of the game.

    Punished for timing more than aggression.

  12. Postpublished at 08:20 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    Argentina 0-0 Sweden

    Sweden have another opportunity with a free kick, but this one is in a far better position than their first one, central and just outside the box. Olivia Schough takes it, clears the wall but places the shot too close to the goalkeeper.

    Schough is then booked for catching Romina Núñez late.

  13. Postpublished at 08:19 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    South Africa 0-1 Italy

    Superb challenge by Bambanani Mbane as she times a sliding tackle to perfection to hook the ball away from Manuela Giugliano as she raced onto a dangerous ball down the flank.

    Italy have started well, as they did against Sweden.

    This time they've put a chance away.

  15. Postpublished at 08:17 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    Argentina 0-0 Sweden

    That goal for Italy means as things stand nothing Argentina can do in this game will be enough to send them through.

    Currently it is the Italians joining Sweden in the last 16 but a long way to go.

  16. Postpublished at 08:16 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    Argentina 0-0 Sweden

    Argentina have an opportunity on the break as Estefanía Banini surges through the middle. She has options either side of her but decides to go for the spectacular with a strike from range, which goes well over.

  17. 'Fans have been incredible at the World Cup'published at 08:14 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    Argentina 0-0 Sweden

    Gilly Flaherty
    Former England defender on BBC Red Button

    The fans have been incredible in this whole World Cup so far, no matter what nation it may be. They are there, they are supporting.

    There is belief from them, you see that emotion while singing the national anthem, Argentina want to go and win today.

    Calm as you like.

    Great decision from the referee.

    Great penalty! Tucked right into the corner by Arianna Caruso and Italy have the crucial lead!

  20. PENALTY TO ITALYpublished at 08:12 British Summer Time 2 August 2023

    South Africa 0-0 Italy

    A chance for Italy to take the lead as they are awarded a penalty after a VAR check for a foul on Chiara Beccari just inside the box. Arianna Caruso on it...
