WHAT A SAVE
NORWAY ALMOST HAVE A SECOND, BUT YAMASHITA MAKES A HUGE SAVE OFF THE LINE TO DENY SAEVIK.
Huge moment to take the pressure off in these final minutes.
89'
JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Norway upped the intensity for about five minutes after Hegerberg came on, but it certainly isn't enough, especially in the last-16 of a World Cup.
88'
SUB
Norway make a change with Horte coming on for Bjelde.
Can they muster up a comeback of the ages?

84'
MIYAZAWA ALMOST SCORES AGAIN
She's in so much space, and should have taken it herself, but opts for a pass into the box. Selfless, but maybe not the right decision.
81'
GOAL! JAPAN 3-1 NORWAY
JAPAN HAVE THEIR THIRD AND MIYAZAWA HAS HER FIFTH GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT.
What a run! it's timed to perfection as Japan counter, and there was only going to be one end result once she got on the ball.
Norway's risk of going more attacking hasn't paid off, and made them more vulnerable.

HOW HAS SHE MISSED?
SO CLOSE TO A NORWEGIAN EQUALISER
Graham Hansen does well to evade defenders and get it to Saevik who has absolutely no one in front of her. Her shot is just wide at the far post.
She NEEDS to get that on target!
75'
SUB
It's the one that the fans have been waiting for. Hegerberg comes on for Hansen, and Norway are going to commit bodies forward.
If anyone can make some magic happen, it's her! Let's see!

ALMOST AN INSTANT IMPACT
Ueki gets the ball on the flank but the final pass is missing. She did so well to turn away and make space for herself.
72'
SUB
Ueki comes on for Tanaka.
If I'm a Norwegian defender seeing the player whose scored two goals so far in this tournament coming on with fresh legs, I'd be pretty gutted, to be honest.

MORE FROM JAPAN
They're just relentless!
Miyazawa threads the ball through to Fujino but she can't quite bring the ball under control.
68'
INJURY
Fujino accidentally stands on Haug’s foot. She gets treatment, but seems to be OK to continue for now.
No Hegerberg yet!

JAPAN STILL PUSHING
Endo almost gets the ball to Shimizu on the other flank but T. Hansen defends it well.

JAPAN JOY, NORWAY MISERY

SUBS
Norway make some changes to attempt to get back in this and turn it around.
Haavi and Risa come off for Saevik and Maanum.
One wonders how fit Hegerberg is? Will we see her tonight?

NO PLAN FOR NORWAY
Norway don't seem to have a plan right now, and it's proving to be costly.

JAPAN TRYING TO SEE OUT THIS MATCH NOW
Japan have kept their lead for longer than five minutes this time!
Shimizu is Japan's seventh different scorer at this World Cup - it's also her third international goal.

JAPAN BACK IN THE LEAD
The stadium explodes with noise as Japan get their lead back. Can they keep it for more than five minutes this time?
50'
GOAL! JAPAN 2-1 NORWAY
JAPAN ARE BACK IN FRONT AS SHIMIZU GETS HER SIDE'S SECOND!
It's some poor defending again from Norway but Japan are forcing them into these mistakes. It takes a bit for it to get into the back of the net as Hasegawa attempts to pass it back, and it's blocked.
The ball then ends up to Shimizu after Risa gives the ball away in her own box and the West Ham player takes a shot. It's slightly deflected but it's a goal, and the pink and purple shirts celebrate their new lead.
