Good evening and welcome to our coverage of the Women's World Cup Final in Frankfurt between Japan and USA.

Rapinoe caught just offside as Morgan looks to play her in down the left

Rampone's experience is invaluable at the back, she reads the game incredibly well and marshalls her defence brilliantly

Japan still can't find the final ball, USA are defending well and defending in numbers

Miyama lacking options resorts to a very direct ball which is unlikely to work against this US defence, it rolls straight through to Solo

It's a good physical contest in the middle of the park but Sakaguchi just takes it a little far as she pushes Lloyd over

Sawa tries an effort from 20 yards, it's on target but had no power behind it, easy for Solo

Miyama finds the run of Sameshima down the left but her cross is far too close to Solo who claims easily

Japan will now have to open up a bit and go for an equaliser, it is hard to see where it will come from for them though

GOAL FOR USA!!! Route one stuff from USA as Rapinoe plays a long-ball forward for Morgan to chase, she gets onto it behind the Japanese defence but she had plenty to do and she did it brilliantly firing past Kaihori from the edge of the box, great finish

Rapinoe is having a frustratingly wasteful game as she tries a shot from a mile out that is easily blocked, her team mates don't look impressed

Two changes for Japan as Ohno and Ando go off and are replaced by Nagasato and Maruyama

Rapinoe again delivers the cross but her centre is again pretty poor and is dealt with

Chances are being created now as O'Reilly puts in a great early cross from the right and finds Wambach, her header was heading in but is well tipped over by kaihori

Sawa plays a fantastic through ball to Ohno which puts her in on goal, she is flagged offside but the replay shows she was definitely on, very unlucky

Rapinoe heads to the other side to throw in an out-swinger, it's a shocking cross though and very easily cleared

Rapinoe again delivers but it is put behind for another corner

USA win another corner as Lepeilbet advances down the left, they are dangerous from these situations

Sawa plays a fantastic chipped pass over Rampone to Kinga, she hits it first time on the volley from the right of the box but it ends up a long way over the bar

The game becoming a bit scrappy now as both sides are desperately looking for an opening but are maybe trying too hard to find it and giving the ball away

Rapinoe drives it in towards Wambach but it's a bit too deep again

Hard work at the other end of the pitch from Heatehr O'Reilly sees her win a corner off Miyama
