Russo’s second-half goal lifts England into World Cup semi-finals
Lauren Hemp also scored for the European champions, who now face hosts Australia on Wednesday in Sydney for a place in their first World Cup final.
“I’m very, very happy to stay here for another week,” coach Sarina Wiegman said. “I think the team showed again some resilience and a lot of togetherness.” Santos scored against the run of play in the 44th minute, launching a curling ball that deflected off the leg of Rachel Daly and into the top corner of the 18-yard box, grazing Mary Earps’s fingertips and going into the far corner of the net.
