Hegerberg had been sidelined since the tournament opener against New Zealand due to a groin injury. Despite her absence, Norway coach Hege Riise chose to keep Sophie Roman Haug in the forward position, who had previously scored a hat-trick in Norway’s 6-0 victory over the Philippines in the group stage. Norway’s Guro Reiten managed to equalize the score with a goal in the 20th minute, canceling out Ingrid Syrstad Engen’s own goal just five minutes earlier. However, Japan took the lead in the 50th minute with Risa Shimizu’s goal, and Hinata Miyazawa secured the win for the 2011 champions with a goal in the 81st minute. Ada Hegerberg was finally subbed in during the 74th minute, but her presence couldn’t turn the tide for Norway, who had to exit the tournament after a win, two losses, and a draw. In the group stage, Norway placed second in Group A behind Switzerland, while Japan topped Group C with a dominant 4-0 victory over Spain. Earlier on the same day in Auckland, Spain showed an impressive performance, winning their round of 16 match 5-1 against Switzerland.
