The teams were tied 0-0 after 120 minutes which led to the shootout.
Australia had two chances to win the shootout but keeper Mackenzie Arnold, who also saved multiple French penalties, and defender Claire Hunt, both couldn’t convert their shots.
In the end, substitute Cortnee Vine held her nerve and smashed home her penalty to etch her name into history.
The Matildas will play the winner of Colombia v England in a semi-final in Sydney on Wednesday night.
