Japan beat Norway.
They confidently deployed the ball, coordinated small groups and made it difficult for the Norwegian defenders. In the 15th minute, Hinata Miyazawa made a dangerous cross, causing midfielder Ingrid Engen to awkwardly break the ball into the home net, the Japanese women's team took the lead. But while having a psychological advantage, the teacher and coach Futoshi Ikeda conceded a goal
Hinata showed impressive performance.
In the 20th minute, Hansen opened the right wing for Thea Bjelde before the defender crossed the ball for Guro Reiten to head the equalizer for the European representative. The second half of the first half was the period when the Norwegian women's team played well. They somewhat made Japan unable to maintain pressure and helped Mikalsen's goal relieve the pressure.
Entering the second half, the Norwegian women's team once again conceded an early goal. In the 2th minute, midfielder Boe Risa made a mistake and let Shimizu finish at close range to make it 50-2. This is a ball that Japan coordinates very well in the penalty area. Risa's defensive effort didn't work.
Unlike the first 45 minutes, the Norwegian women's team could not rise up. They constantly suffered from many attacks from the Japanese women's team. The team from the land of the rising sun even holds the ball up to 70% and creates countless dangerous balls.
In the 81st minute, Ueki had a delicate slit for Hinata to get down to defeat goalkeeper Mikalsen to raise the score to 3-1. It wasn't until this time that the Norwegian women's team started to get some remarkable football. Unfortunately, that effort could not bring a goal. In the end, the Japanese women's team won the right to play in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Women's World Cup.
