Japan went right to work on finding a goal and it came in short order, with Ua Ono guiding a left-footed strike into the top-left corner of net in the 10th minute.

Some world-class skill doubled the Japan lead, as Noa Fukushima scored for the fourth consecutive match, connecting on a cross with the outside of her left leg before steering the ball home for the goal in the 22nd minute.

Colombia simply had no answer for Japan’s dizzying ball movement and Konoha Nakamura tallied the third of the night with a composed finish in the 43rd minute after another brilliant build-up.

Fukushima then notched her second with another sparkling finish with the exterior of her left boot to complete the scoring.
