Group C of the FIFA Women's World Cup includes Spain, Costa Rica, Zambia and Japan.
Spain and Japan both qualified for the knockout stage with a game to spare following back-to-back opening wins each. Those results also saw Costa Rica and Zambia quickly resigned to going no further in the competition, with the latter unable to live up to their shock warm-up win over Germany.
Japan later put Spain to the sword in a game that was a dead rubber in terms of qualifying for the knockouts, but still had significant meaning as far topping group was concerned.
