Kgatlana netted two of her team's six goals including the last-gasp scorcher that dramatically dumped Italy out of the tournament. It's not that we're getting confused with this fast attacker from South Africa, but we have taken it into account and we're preparing for that." The Dutch are ranked 45 spots above South Africa's Banyana Banyana, but this tournament has shown no team can be overlooked. Asked why the Netherlands are so consistent in tournaments, Van der Gragt said her side is built for the long haul. The Dutch were back on the practice pitch on Saturday after Friday's long travel day from Dunedin, N.Z., to Sydney.

Yet the tournament’s lowest FIFA world-ranked team (77th) bowed out in style, claiming their first ever Women’s World Cup win with a 3-1 victory over Costa Rica. South AfricaNo team left it as late to qualify from the group stage as South Africa. But Thembi Kgatlana had other ideas, tapping home Hildah Magaia’s pull back to secure South Africa’s first ever Women’s World Cup win and a place in the knockout stages with the flick of a boot. A solid start for a side who arrived at the tournament having conceded more goals at the World Cup than any other team. More history was made as Nouhaila Benzina became the first player to wear a hijab at a senior-level Women’s World Cup, and the defender came close to doubling the lead with a well-struck volley.

☆ South Africa book spot in knockout stages with last-gasp win over Italy

"They fought like warriors," said an emotional coach Desiree Ellis, who was a founding member of the South Africa women's side in 1993. "They fought like the heroines that we know that they are. They fought to be historically remembered and they've made history not just getting our first win, but going to the round of 16 and that is freaking amazing." South Africa equalised in the 32nd minute through an own goal from Benedetta Orsi, who did not check where goalkeeper Francesca Durante was before making a back pass.
