South Africa won a Women's World Cup match for the first time with a stunning 3-2 victory over Italy to reach the last 16 in a thriller on Wednesday.

Captain Thembi Kgatlana scored the winner in the 92nd minute to make history for South Africa and set up a meeting with the Netherlands -- sending Italy home.

Arianna Caruso scored twice for Italy and thought she had ensured the draw they needed to go through with 16 minutes left, before Kgatlana's stunning late intervention.

South Africa's Coach Desiree Ellis, whose side were beaten 2-1 in the last minute in their opener against Sweden and then drew 2-2 with Argentina, expressed: "This is just amazing. I thought they were incredible.

"They fought like warriors. They fought like the heroines that we know that they are," said Ellis.
