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

Lloyd goes in hard on Ohno on the half-way line, it looked quite bad but I think it was simply mis-timed

Rapinoe tries to slide in Cheney, but Cheney pushes over Iwasimizu in trying to get the ball, free-kick to Japan

Ando again running on behind the defence but again the through ball to her is too heavy and Solo is out to claim it

Miyama finds Kawasumi on the edge of the box with a low pass, she hits it first time but it is well over the bar

Ohno very nearly finds Ando again with a clever reverse through ball, Rampone beats her to it, it is a corner though

Sameshima is a good outlet for Japan as she is always looking to get forward down the left, hasn't produced an end product yet though

The clearance only finds Buehler though who swings it back in, Cheney beat the offside trap and had a free header inside the box, she tries to loop it over the keeper but it ends up over the bar as well. Another good chance

Rapinoe sends the ball into the box from the right, it's not a great cross and easily cleared.

Wambach holds the ball up well and is pulled down by Kumagai. Free-kick

Japan enjoying a good spell on the ball now, but space is at a premium and they can't quite break into the final third

Little scare for USA as Japan break at pace and Ohno slides in Ando, the pass forces her quite wide though and she tries a first time shot that is very tame and easy for Solo, they certainly can pose a threat though

USA dominating possession again and probing for an opening that isn't easy to find wit hthe Japanese very well organised

Wambach crashes the ball off the crossbar. Iwasimizu took out Cheney on the half-way line but Wambach didn't hesitate and the referee played a good advantage. Wambach surged forwards and on reaching the edge of the box unleashed a thunderous drive that looked to be heading for the top corner but came back off the bar. Unlucky.

The resulting cross was very deep and is flicked away for a throw-in by the Americans

Japan gaining some territorial advantage for the first time and win a corner as Rampone heads behind a cross from the left

Wambach the obvious target and after an almighty scramble it does reach her at the far post, she tries to cut it back across but it is well held by Kaihori

Krieger does well down the right winning a corner off Sameshima

Kinga returns the compliment to Rapinoe by hacking her down on the half-way line

Japan finding some space for the first time as Ando breaks down the left, her cross is decent but doesn't find anyone and it is cleared

Kinga with some really poor control, Rapinoe tried to capitalise but pushed her over and gave away the free-kick

Ohno gets Japan's first shot in anger off, but it is a long way wide of goal
