Italy leave it late as Argentina sink; 1-0

Italy midfielder Giulia Dragoni become one of the youngest players to appear in a Women's World Cup match at the age of 16 years and 259 days as Le Azzurre scored late to beat Argentina.

Manager Milena Bertolini put her faith in the youngster who only made her debut for the senior side on 1 July.

It looked as though Italy were going to be frustrated by a gritty defensive performance by Argentina before substitute Cristiana Girelli, who replaced Dragoni in the 83rd minute, nodded the winner four minutes later.
