In a historic match that will be etched into the annals of sporting history, Australia's women's football team emerged triumphant over France in a nail-biting penalty shootout during the quarter-finals of the Women's World Cup. The encounter, held at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium in Australia on August 12, 2023, saw both teams battle relentlessly, resulting in a goalless deadlock even after extra time. The tension reached its zenith as the penalty shootout unfolded, with Australia's goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold rising as the hero by thwarting three French penalty attempts and even making her mark with a penalty miss of her own. However, it was the young Vicki Becho's unfortunate collision with the post on the 12th spot-kick that swung the pendulum in Australia's favor, propelling them to a 7-6 victory. The stadium erupted in a cacophony of cheers and exultation from the Australian fans, marking a historic first entry into the Women's World Cup semifinals for the co-hosts. @markgottlieb captured a video footage showing the celebration erupting after the penalty goal.
