Japan held the ball far less against Spain than it did in its first two Women’s World Cup matches and yet kept right on scoring. Know more:
Playing in a stadium dominated by their fans, the Japanese time and again swarmed the Spanish offense, stole the ball, and moved up the pitch as aggressively as possible. Japanese forward Hinata Miyazawa scored twice and said she “never imagined” such offensive power.
It’s a remarkable turnaround from Japan’s 2019 performance at the Women’s World Cup, when the entire team scored three goals in four games. La Roja had just one shot on goal in the first half, which goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita comfortably saved.
