WELLINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Hinata Miyazawa scored her fifth goal of the tournament as Japan beat Norway 3-1 in a clash of former champions on Saturday to reach the quarter-finals of the Women's World Cup for the fourth time. "I'm very happy, I didn't think we would be able to come so far," Miyazawa told reporters. Norway, world champions in 1995, depart the World Cup before the quarter-finals for only the third time in nine campaigns. Space started opening up for Japan as Norway pressed forward and Miyazawa benefited in the 81st minute, taking a touch off Aoba Fujino's through ball and rolling it coolly into the net. "We met a very good Japan team," said Norway coach Hege Riise.
