Argentina took gold in the women's World Cup for the first time after beating Holland in a penalty shoot-out in Australia today.

Mariela Antoniska saved the 16th stroke of a dramatic shoot-out to deny the Dutch a record sixth gold in 10 tournaments.

The match had finished 1-1 at full-time after Holland's Ageeth Boomgaardt cancelled out Ines Arrondo's fifth-minute goal with a late equaliser.

Earlier in the day, China claimed bronze with a 2-0 win over Australia, who had won the previous two World Cups.
