AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — The knockout stage teams have emerged from one of the eight groups at the Women’s World Cup – Spain and Japan out of Group C – and they’re both in goalscoring form. La Roja and Nadeshiko have each beaten Costa Rica and Zambia soundly. The pair stand Nos. 1 and 2 in goals scored in the group stage so far with eight and seven, respectively.

Because of its extra goal, Spain holds the edge in the event of a draw.
