WELLINGTON : Hinata Miyazawa scored twice as former champions Japan put on a counter-attacking clinic to beat Spain 4-0 and lock up top spot in Group C at the Women's World Cup on Monday.
Japan, winners of the 2011 World Cup and runners-up in 2015, will remain in the New Zealand capital to play Norway in the last 16 on Saturday, while Spain will move north to Auckland to face Switzerland earlier on the same day. Spain took the initiative from the start and Japan's opener in the 12th minute was very much against the run of play.
It was Miyazawa's third goal of the tournament and the first Spain had conceded in their three games in New Zealand.
