Japan are FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup champions<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Japan are FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup champions for the first time after a penalty shootout victory over USA<\/a>, following a dramatic 2-2 draw in Frankfurt.<\/p>\n

Defender Saki Kumagai<\/a> had the honour of hitting home the decisive spot-kick as Japan<\/a> triumphed 3-1 in the shootout. USA<\/a> were twice pegged back but it took\u00a0Homare Sawa<\/a> to equalise three minutes from the end of extra time to force penalties.<\/p>\n

USA<\/a> created numerous goalscoring opportunities throughout the match but Aya Miyama<\/a>\u2019s goal nine minutes from the end of the 90 minutes forced extra time, after Alex Morgan<\/a> had given the Stars and Stripes the lead on 69 minutes. Abby Wambach<\/a> seemed set to have scored the winner on 104 minutes until Sawa\u2019s late intervention.<\/p>\n
