1999_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup_knockout_stage
The knockout stage of the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup was the second and final stage of the competition, following the group stage. It began on June 30 with the quarter-finals and ended on July 10, 1999, with the final match, held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. A total of eight teams (the top two teams from each group) advanced to the knockout stage to compete in a single-elimination style tournament.[1]
All times listed are local time.
In all knockout matches apart from the third-place play-off, if a match was level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, extra time was played (two periods of 15 minutes each). If still tied after extra time, the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner. If the third-place play-off was level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, no extra time would be played, and the match would immediately be decided by a penalty shoot-out.
The top two placed teams from each of the four groups qualified for the knockout stage.
