France peppered the Matildas goal with no result as the Aussies held on grimly in true spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The Aussies were more physical and made up for their inability to counter the French strength with fearless counters to the sometimes relentless waves of attacks from the French that would have undone a lesser team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">France had several opportunities of putting the result to bed, but poor execution with their shots at goal kept the Matildas in contention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The Matildas for their part had their chances of scoring particularly a simple Mary Fowler effort directly in front meters from goal which was spoiled by a desperate De Almeida French defence to deny them of a semi final berth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Extra time saw a fiercely contested duel with no break to the deadlock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">A penalty shoot out certainly did no justice to a great contest.
