Good evening, all, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Japan v Australia in the Women's World Cup quarter-finals.

FULL-TIME. And that's it. How desperately disappointing for the Matildas, who held out against the world champions for 87 minutes, but Japan march on.

Van Egmont has the last shot of the game, but that's right into into Haikori's arms.

Heyman's lurking in the box, and Haikori and one of her defenders crash into each other.

Kyah Simon is replaced by Sykes.

GOAL! And from the corner, and the ensuing scramble, that's lashed home past the defenders on the line by Iwabuchi.

And Australia are working so hard now to hang on.

Oh, and Ogimi has a golden chance! Great ball from Kawasumi, and it just powers off her shin at a difficult angle and height.

Into the last five minutes - Australia are slightly under the cosh now as Japan press.

Kellond-Knight solid at the back there as Japan push for their goal.

Michelle Heyman holds up the ball well, but the final shot from Catley is very poor and over the bar.

Kawasumi's shot is blocked by Catley - and it's another Japan corner.

And Michelle Heyman replaces Katrina Gorry.

Sameshimi belting down the left wing once again.

Everyone's looking for time and space on the ball, and getting closed down.

Ohno's worked really hard today and looked reasonably good but in this final 20 minutes Japan will want their customary single goal.

And Ohno is replaced by Iwabuchi.

Utsugi and Simon have a little shirt-tugging battle in midfield, and Japan get the free kick.
