And here is your match report:

Switzerland did what they had to do though. They win Group A without setting the tournament alight, to be honest. Two goalless draws and a 2-0 win over the Philippines is enough for Inka Grings’s side. They move through to a last-16 meeting with whoever comes second in Group C. New Zealand will contemplate their disappointment, and the tournament will have to come to terms with losing one of its hosts. Safe to say, all eyes will now be on Australia when they meet Canada on Monday. Be sure to join us again for that one, but before that, there’s more to come today:

A match report will be on its way shortly, and keep an eye out for reaction from New Zealand – our reporter Anna Rankin will be giving her verdict on the emotional rollercoaster that has been the Football Ferns’ involvement in this tournament. But from me for now, thanks for joining me and goodbye.
