With the referee's additional time running out Seoposenwe did well with a classy touch to beat three Italian defenders to the ball while marauding into the Italy box before setting up Kgatolana who finished from close range.

Banyana have now finished second in Group G on 4 points, behind group winners Sweden (9 points).

Kgatlana also with her goal became the tournament's joint-top goalscorer and will be aiming to guide Banyana to a deep run into the latter stages of the tournament.

Ellis' side will now face Netherlands in a Round of 16 clash on Sunday.

Kick-off is at 04:00 (SA time).
