Japan topped Group C of FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 with a 4-0 win over Spain at Wellington Regional Stadium, on Monday.

Three breakaway first-half goals put the 2011 champions in control, before a late Mina Tanaka strike put the icing on the cake to ensure the Nadeshiko qualified with three straight wins and without a goal conceded.

This victory takes Japan and Spain to the last 16.

Japan will play Norway in the round of 16, while Spain will face Switzerland.
