NewsInternationals: Fuka Nagano helps Japan secure spot at Olympics

The Liverpool midfielder completed the full game as Japan edged out North Korea 2-1 to earn progress to this summer’s tournament.

Teagan Micah, meanwhile, was an unused substitute for Australia as they also sealed a spot at the Olympics thanks to a 10-0 victory over Uzbekistan.

In friendly action, Marie Höbinger’s Austria took on Sofie Lundgaard’s Denmark, though the former was the only one of the pair to get minutes in the game.

Höbinger was a second-half substitute for her nation in the 1-1 draw, stepping off the bench for the final half-hour of the contest.
