The former did so by outlasting a tough Cameroon team and winning by a single goal. Meanwhile, top-ranked Germany offered an ominous reminder of their class and form by dismantling Sweden in a stunning display.
Germany strikers Anja Mittag and Celia Sasic were typically deadly, combining for three goals as part of a comprehensive 4-1 win.

Germany Still the Class of the Tournament
There's a reason the Germans are the top-ranked squad at this tournament. They've arrived in Canada with a team as solid at the back as it is free-scoring in attack.
Goalkeeper Nadine Angerer is a dominant presence behind a savvy defence. Her miserly approach puts opposing teams in a bind because it's almost guaranteed that one of Mittag or Sasic will score at least once.

This ruthlessly efficient duo has grabbed 10 goals in Canada already, according to the tournament's official site. That's a frightening number considering the competition hasn't even reached the last eight.
There's true balance to this Germany squad that few other nations can match. Mittag, Sasic and Angerer are spearheading a footballing machine that looks unstoppable at the moment.
While Germany have been lighting up scoreboards, China's approach has been sparked by a stingy rearguard. Goalkeeper Wang Fei has been particularly impressive.
The 25-year-old has made 13 saves so far in Canada for a solid 81.3 per cent save rate, according to FIFA's official site. She certainly played a vital role in preserving a clean sheet in the last 16.

Assistant manager Chang Wei Wei hailed the fighting spirit of China's players after the way they stubbornly refused to yield to Cameroon, per Reuters reporter Simon Evans: "They were resilient and brave. They were like warriors for 90 minutes."
With two nations already through, here's who might be joining them soon:
Expect Brazil and France to Qualify
Brazil's quality and flair in forward areas will be too much for Australia. Marta is still the creative hub of the South American side, but she is amply supported by similarly gifted technicians.
Playmaker Formiga is very adept in possession. The 37-year-old rarely wastes a pass and always looks to play between the lines.
Along with Marta, Formiga set a World Cup record during her country's win over South Korea earlier in the tournament, becoming the oldest goalscorer in Women's World Cup history, per an Associated Press report (h/t the Guardian). Along with mercurial striker Cristiane, Marta and Formiga will have too much class and guile for Australia.
As a counter to the skill, Australia captain Lisa De Vanna believes her team can affect Brazil psychologically. She told Fox Sports AU's David Weiner how the South American side can be "rattled:"
"I think if we can get on top of them really quickly, I think they’ll start to unravel. They’ve got such great individual players, if we get the better of them, some will try do it themselves. It may start a bit of arguing in the team, which we’ve seen in the past.
"
While De Vanna's scenario is certainly possible, it also reflects the kind of cynical pragmatism teams usually resort to when they know they can't match the skill of the opposition.
Such an approach may not do Australia justice. Manager Alen Stajcic's team boasts plenty of its own quality in forward areas.
Forward Kyah Simon in particular poses a major threat. She's scored twice at the tournament so far and has the pace to trouble any defence.

Simon believes the Matildas won't vary their attacking approach because of the threat Marta and company pose, according to Sydney Morning Herald reporter Dominic Bossi.
However Australia approach this game, Brazil's legion of creative aces will craft enough chances to progress.
It will be a similar story for the French when they take on Korea Republic. The double act of wily midfield schemer Louisa Necib and precocious striker Eugenie Le Sommer will torment the Korea defence.
Le Sommer is her country's top scorer at this tournament, having found the net three times during the group stage. Her strength and quickness in and around the box will make the difference and send France through.
The bracket for the quarter-final stage will start to adopt a familiar and expected look after the latest round-of-16 games. The favoured nations will all make their marks to set up tantalising ties in the last eight.
