Norway women denied by Australia

A goal by substitute Lisa De Vanna in the 83rd minute earned Australia a 1-1 draw with Norway in Group C.

Australia, with four points from two games, only need a draw against Canada, to reach the last eight, while Norway need a draw against Ghana to advance.

Norway took the lead in the fifth minute when Leni Laursen Kaurin played in Ragnhild Gulbrandsen, who steered home an angled shot.

But Australia escaped when De Vanna curled in a shot from outside the area.
