Portugal can still win Group E while Vietnam won't be advancing to the knockout rounds.
Vietnam was again overmatched in this game but did manage to get five shots and a shot on goal after it was shut out in both categories against the United States. It now has only pride to play for against the Dutch and the U.S. and the fans will hope that’s plenty of motivation.
After tying with the Netherlands on Wednesday night, the USWNT is tied atop the Group with the Dutch at four points each. The United States officially sits first thanks to a 3-0 win over Vietnam and the Netherlands’ 1-0 win over Portugal and the U.S. will advance to the knockout rounds with either a win or a tie.
However, the U.S. needs Vietnam to keep the Netherlands close if it doesn’t get a shock win. The main tiebreaker is goal difference; if the Netherlands blows out Vietnam, it can jump into first even if the USWNT beats Portugal 1-0. Portugal, meanwhile, can advance to the knockout rounds with a win over the U.S. or a tie against the USWNT and a Vietnam win.Nigeria scored three consecutive goals against a shorthanded Australia side to put the co-hosts in danger of being eliminated from the Women’s World Cup.
Osinachi Ohale gave Nigeria a 2-1 lead in the 65th minute off a corner kick and then substitute Asisat Oshoala added a third goal seven minutes later in a 3-2 victory. Oshoala’s goal was sublime as she scored a first-touch goal from an exceptionally tight angle.
