Daily News | Women’s World Cup: Morocco, Zambia secure first wins; Australia sends Canada packing
It was a historic World Cup weekend for several countries, with Morocco and Zambia recording their first-ever victories at the tournament.
Zambia’s 23-year old captain, Barbra Banda, scored her first-ever World Cup goal off a penalty kick in the 31st minute. The goal was special for another reason, too — it marked the 1,000th goal in Women’s World Cup history. Nigeria reached the round of 16 for the third time in the nation’s history following its 0-0 draw with Ireland.
