00:00Almost the entire stadium against Basher here
00:06And Arnaud saves
00:12It wasn't the worst penalty you've ever seen
00:16But those long leavers got there
00:25First up for the Matildas, Caitlin Ford
00:30First test for Solene Durand
00:50On her competitive international debut
00:54The substitute French goalkeeper
00:56Facing the very experienced and normally calm Caitlin Ford
01:09This to put the Matildas one up
01:14Yes!
01:19Similar penalty for that of Selma Basher
01:24But it got beyond the goalkeeper's best efforts
01:33No one's been involved in more goals at this World Cup than Kadhi Diani
01:38Four goals and three assists prior to today
01:43Needs to hold her nerve now
01:54Very calm indeed
01:58Backed herself completely, Kadhi Diani
02:031-1
02:10Steph Cagli
02:13With two goals at this World Cup
02:15Cagli
02:17With two goals at this World Cup
02:29Already scored from the spot in this competition
02:36Oh! Brilliant save from Durand
02:38Durand
02:43Great athleticism there from Solene Durand
02:49Cagli denied
02:57Two penalties each
03:00One scored each
03:04Now the French captain
03:07Looking to get closer to her first ever major trophy
03:11With a country she's served so well for many years
03:14Wendy Renard
03:19Ice-cool
03:212-1 France
03:28Sam Kerr
03:30Next off the rank for the Matildas
03:362-1
03:46The pressure is enormous
03:50The tension palpable
03:58No problem
04:00For Sam Kerr
04:062-2 in the shootout
04:13France's record goalscorer
04:18No one's featured in the World Cup more volley-blur than Eugenie Le Sommet
04:24Looking to put France 3-2 up in the shootout
04:30And does so very calmly
04:32You've just got to admire the players for the way they're coming up and stroking these penalties home
04:39Superb
04:41She may be just 20 years old
04:45But Australia believe in Mary Fowler
04:51And Matilda's fourth penalty and they're 3-2 down in the shootout
04:56Fowler against Durant
05:00You don't save those
05:033-3
05:25So we're at sudden death now
05:28France's fifth penalty, Eve Perisset
05:32Against Mackenzie Arnold
05:36And she's missed
05:41And I think there was a fingertip under the post from Mackenzie Arnold
05:56It's a few small steps for Mackenzie Arnold
06:01Potentially a giant leap into the history books for the Matildas
06:07If she scores they're into a semi-final
06:10Oh no!
06:14A wonderful relief, volley-blur
06:19But it rattles the post
06:26And France
06:31Thinks what might have been Mackenzie Arnold
06:35It still might be
06:37And France live again
06:39Grasse-Gheodo
06:40Grasse-Gheodo
06:54The very experienced Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, Gheodo
07:03Several of the French players can't watch
07:07Oh and Mackenzie Arnold nearly got there
07:11Arnold not happy with that run-up
07:16You cannot pause, you cannot have a still moment in that run-up
07:21Does she have an argument?
07:25And she's asking the question
07:31Enormous pressure
07:34On Katrina Ghori
07:37She has to score
07:38Otherwise the Matildas are out
07:51Her 99th cap for the Matildas
07:55And Katrina Ghori
07:59Must score
08:09Oh and it just crept in
08:14Tremendous effort from Duran
08:17She almost saved it
08:19And on we go in this
08:22Unbelievable atmosphere and tension in Brisbane, Mianjin
08:29Sakina Khashoggi
08:39Oh and in
08:41She went for height
08:43And that was brave
08:48And it nestled into the back of the net
08:51France with the advantage
08:54The Matildas turning to their experienced players in this shootout at the moment
09:00Tamika Yallop
09:06Has to score
09:08And scores
09:19And does
09:22Another
09:25Calm
09:28Collected spot kick
09:31I just don't know how the players are doing it in this atmosphere
09:355-5
09:36Maëlle Lacroix
09:41France
09:42Holding the advantage of going first in sudden death
09:49One of the least experienced of the French players, Lacroix
09:55Mackenzie Arnold was well off her line
09:57Even if she'd saved that
09:59She had no chance of doing so
10:016-5 France
10:07Well we're deep into the shootout
10:11Players who wouldn't normally take penalty kicks
10:14Ellie Carpenter
10:21Against the rookie
10:23Soleil Duran
10:27Carpenter keen to get on with this
10:37Oh and in off the post
10:45We've talked so much at this brilliant World Cup about fine margins
10:53This is too much to take
10:55They were ready to celebrate
10:57The French substitutes bench
10:59On we go
11:00Kenza Daly
11:026-0
11:07And saved by Arnold
11:13Advantage Matildas again
11:25Wait a moment
11:30The Chilean referee
11:32Is just waiting for instruction here
11:36Did Arnold keep one foot on the line?
11:51She did not
11:54So the
11:55Kenza Daly penalty will be retaken
11:57Let's have a look
11:59Yeah
12:00Both feet are off the line
12:03You can't get away with it
12:04Cameras everywhere
12:07This won't be an easy retake for Daly
12:11But my goodness she's happy she has the opportunity
12:22And Arnold saves again
12:29And will this save count?
12:37The most inexperienced player in the team for the Matildas
12:43Only made a senior debut last February
12:47Wherever you're watching
12:49You have got the best ticket to the most sensational drama
12:54Can you imagine the scenes and the big screens in Brisbane
12:58Melbourne
12:59Perth
13:00Sydney
13:02And an enraptured crowd here
13:04And an enraptured crowd here
13:06If Hunt scores
13:08It's history for the Matildas
13:11No!
13:12Saved by Jerome
13:15I simply do not believe that
13:21Can't take the win
13:3518 penalties we've had so far
13:39It's six all
13:41And it's Vicky Besho
13:43Just 19 years old
13:46And hits the post
13:53And for the third time
13:56Australia
13:58Are one successful penalty away
14:01From the last four
14:03Can she grab this game?
14:05Can she grab the Matildas future?
14:0721 year old
14:09Courtney Vine
14:11At her first World Cup
14:14Can write the Matildas into history
14:19Cue the party
14:31Wild scenes
14:33In Brisbane
14:35Mianjin
14:41They were one successful penalty away
14:46A World Cup semi-final
14:49Tony Gustafsson cannot keep the tears back
