Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of the USA's clash with North Korea in Group C of the Women's World Cup in Dresden.

Thanks for joining us this evening and we will see you again soon.

There's the final whistle and the USA deserve their win. A real game of two halves as North Korea match the USA all the way in the opening 45 minutes but then the Americans completely dominated the second and scored two good goals to record the biggest win of the tournament so far.

One last corner for North Korea as Ri Un meets it in the air poerfully but it goes wide

USA have a goal disallowed!!! Not that it matters now but Wambach takes a shot that Hong fumbles and Rapinoe is straight in there to rifle the ball home. The referee rules it out as she though Hong had control of the ball when Rapinoe hit it, but I would beg to differ, unlucky for the substitute.

Two minutes of injury time signalled

The North Koreans still hard at it, but the US are holding them at pay fairly comfortably and the game is effectively over at this stage

Kwon with the first meaningful shot North Korea have produced for some time and it's a well hit shot from outside the area but Solo gets everything behind it and holds it well

Alex Morgan has a snap shot from the edge of the box on the turn but it's comfortably over

All the play is still in the North Korean half and the US are the ones more likely to score in the final minutes, North Korea look a spent force

Lloyd penalised for a high boot fairly harshly, I'm sure she won't mind at this stage though

The corner results in nothing as Krieger shoots from twenty yards and it's a long way over

Morgan gets her first chance to atrtack from the left flank and tries to find Wambach in the centre, it's cut out at the front post and it's another corner

Kwon Song Hwa comes on to replace Ho Un Byol

Rapinoe with an immediate impact beating two players and gettnig a cross in, resulting in a corner

Megan Rapinoe is on to replace Heater O'Reilly who has worked tirelessly in the right wing and had a very good game

The North Koreans are still full of running, but it looks all over for them here

GOAL FOR USA!!! Krieger puts in a cross from the right and it floats on to the cross bar for what would have eben a fluke, but it's Rachel Buehler who reacts quickest to the rebound and buries it into the corner with a good finish

Alex Morgan is on to replace Amy Rodriguez, A Rod has been lively but has failed to produce the final pass or shot, can morgan go one better?

Short corner was poorly worked and the US end up giving away a free-kick, chance wasted

Rodriguez shows great control with her back to goal on the 18-yard line, turns and hits a curling effort but Hong makes a great save and tips it out for a corner
