The knockout stage of the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup was the second and final stage of the competition, following the group stage. It began on 24 November with the quarter-finals and ended on 30 November 1991 with the final match, held at the Tianhe Stadium in Guangzhou. A total of eight teams (the top two teams from each group, along with the two best third-placed teams) advanced to the knockout stage to compete in a single-elimination style tournament.[1]
All times listed are local, CST (UTC+8).
Format
In the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of 80 minutes of normal playing time, 20 minutes of extra time was played (two periods of 10 minutes each). If still tied after extra time, the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner.
In the quarter-finals, all matches were played on 24 November 1991. The specific match-ups and schedule depended on which two third-placed teams qualified for the quarter-finals:[2]
