Great Britain s women's football team will play Australia tomorrow (Friday, July 30) in the quarter-finals of the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. The game kicks off at 10am (1800 in Japan who are eight hours ahead) in the Ibaraki Kashima Stadium.
Goals from Aylesbury’s Ellen White in the pool games secured Team GB's women a place in the knock-out stages of competition.
She scored both goals in Team GB’s opening 2-0 victory against Chile last Wednesday and was again the only scorer in their 1-0 win against the hosts Japan on Saturday morning.
The Manchester City striker again showed her incredibly sharp penalty-box instincts, with a powerful header from Lucy Bronze’s cross with just 15 minutes to go.
