Clinical Japan, slick Spain surge into Women's World Cup quarters
Japan's surprise title charge at the Women's World Cup gathered pace with
a clinical 3-1 win over Norway to reach the last eight while Spain
thrashed Switzerland 5-1 on Saturday.
The 2011 champions Japan will face either holders the United States or
Sweden in the quarter-finals and on this evidence they will take some
stopping.
They have won all four games in Australia and New Zealand -- including a
4-0 thumping of Spain -- scoring 14 times and conceding only once.
Hinata Miyazawa is also quickly becoming one of the breakout stars of a
World Cup which has been full of shocks.
The 23-year-old got the third nine minutes from time to seal Norway's fate
in front of 33,000 in Wellington.
She is now the tournament's top scorer.
