Japan's Miyazawa claims Golden Boot
Sydney: Japan's Hinata Miyazawa claimed the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 Golden Boot award following the conclusion of the tournament on Sunday.
Although Japan were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Sweden, Miyazawa's five goals saw her emerge topscorer.
 
It is a richly deserved award, with the midfielder emerging as one of the success stories of the tournament.

"I am happy to have been awarded the Golden Boot. I would like to thank not only my teammates, but also all the coaches who have guided me and everyone who has supported me," said Miyazawa.
 
Two of Miyazawa's goals came in the 4-0 group stage win against Spain, who defeated England 1-0 to lift the title for the first time on Sunday. Miyazawa also scored twice in the 5-0 group stage victory over Zambia and once in the 3-1 Round of 16 triumph against Norway.
 
Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati won the Golden Ball award while her teammate Salma Paralluelo collected the Best Young Player title. England custodian Mary Earps was named the Golden Glove winner.
