CNN —Roared on by the majority of the 75,784 crowd inside Sydney’s Stadium Australia, co-host Australia reached the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals after an impressive 2-0 victory over Denmark in Sydney.
“I felt a little bit disrespected because it’s not about me, it’s about the team and they’re preparing for a World Cup,” she said.
Denmark came roaring back though, putting the Australian defense under pressure, with captain Pernille Harder at the forefront of most of its good attacking work.
Try as Denmark may, it was Australia who got the next goal to effectively book its spot in the quarterfinals.
“We’re feeling really, really happy, really positive,” Australian defender Clare Hunt told CNN after the victory.
