☆ Manchester United wins Women’s FA Cup for first time in its history

CNN —Manchester United won the Women’s FA Cup for the first time in its history on Sunday, dismantling Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 in front of a sell-out crowd at a sun-soaked Wembley Stadium. “We are history makers for Manchester United,” the club’s manager Marc Skinner told the BBC. It seemed that the half would end goalless, that is until Toone created a little magic in its final moments. Rachel Williams, on the ground, was mobbed by her teammates after scoring United's second goal. García still had time for a second goal, rifling the ball into the net after Lisa Naalsund had controlled Melvine Malard’s chip into the box, and added some extra gloss to the scoreline.

MELBOURNE, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Jamaica goalkeeper Becky Spencer said she hoped the nation's soccer federation would reward the team properly after the Reggae Girlz broke through to the knockout phase for the first time in just their second World Cup. They reached the last 16 finishing second in Group F, having also held heavyweights France 0-0 while beating Panama 1-0. "Obviously we fight a battle constantly for us as players," said Spencer, who was given the player-of-the-match award against Brazil. -- which Spencer said was a message to those who had doubted they would perform given all their off-field strife. "We're showing the young kids and players out in Jamaica what can be achieved."

☆ Jamaica knock out Brazil, reach last 16 of World Cup
  + stars: | 2023-08-02 | by ( Ian Ransom | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
MELBOURNE, Aug 2 (Reuters) - A courageous Jamaica held Brazil to a 0-0 draw on Wednesday to reach the knockout phase for the first time in only their second Women's World Cup while condemning the South Americans to their earliest exit since 1995. Jamaica rode their luck to halftime and Brazil's desperation grew after the break as their attacks came to nothing. In search of a goal, the Brazilians exposed themselves to the counter-attack and Khadija Shaw all but made them pay. Brazil had one last chance in a final-minute goal-mouth scramble but Debinha headed straight to the keeper, allowing the Jamaicans to celebrate arguably their finest moment in international football.
