Thembi Kgatlana scored against Italy in the second minute of stoppage time. Her goal sent South Africa into the last 16 of the 2023 Women's World Cup.

Italian players cried after being eliminated from the 2023 Women's World Cup.

Italy have a great chance to qualify for the group stage as they have 3 points from the win over Argentina and are second in the group before the final match.

However, defensive mistakes caused Italy to fail in the decisive match.

Italy women's team says goodbye to World Cup 2023.

Italy can only blame themselves. Of the three goals conceded by the European team, two were due to the defenders' lack of concentration.

First, Benedetta Orsi kicked the ball straight into her own goal with a careless back pass, helping South Africa equalize 1-1. In the decisive goal, the two Italian players did not coordinate well, allowing the opposing striker to win the ball right on the edge of the penalty area.

Italy was eliminated along with Argentina. Sweden and South Africa are the two teams that will continue in this group.

Result: South Africa 3-2 Italy
