Czech Rep. - Cameroon  1:1  (final) 
-0:1('24) Lauren Etame Mayer 
-1:1('74) Dosek 
Cameroon have qualified for quarter-finals 

It is often problematic to go into such a game with an advantage to defend against a team that has nothing to lose but everything to win. So Czech Republic was not to be ruled out and had even the chance to win after an error in the Cameroonian defence. 

USA - Kuwait 3:1 (final) 
-1:0('40) Califf 
-2:0('63) Allbright 
-2:1('83) Najem 
-3:1('89) Donovan 
USA have won the group and have qualified for quarter-finals.  A draw would have been enough for Kuwait but the USA team, that had been dominant against both, the Czech republic and Cameroon, due to reports, marched through. 
 

USA	3	6-4	5
Cameroon	3	5-4	5
Kuwait	3	6-8	3
Czech Rep.	3	5-6	2

first two have qualified for quarter-final
