That's the ambition I like to see in the team," Spain coach Jorge Vilda told reporters. Zambia had their chances on the counter-attack but failed to test Misa Rodriguez in Spain's goal with a number of wayward shots. "Spain are very experienced... we are just developing, we still need more experience," Zambia skipper Barbra Banda said. Sakala had the final say, however, when she made a string of saves to deny both Hermoso and Redondo from claiming hat-tricks. "Today's game, we actually played much better than we did the first game," Zambia coach Bruce Mwape said.

☆ All about the three points for former champions Japan

July 21 (Reuters) - Japan coach Futoshi Ikeda said it was vital for the Nadeshiko to win their opening match against Zambia in Hamilton on Saturday if they are to make their mark at the Women's World Cup. Champions at the 2011 World Cup and runners-up four years later, Japan exited in the round of 16 at the last edition of the showpiece of women's football. So we have to be very careful, but dynamic, and we're going to get those points," Ikeda told reporters at Waikato Stadium on Friday. Debutants Zambia may be ranked 77th in the world to Japan's 11th but they proved their quality by beating twice world champions Germany in a friendly earlier this month. After the disappointment of Japan being knocked out of their home Olympics in the quarter-finals in 2021, the hard-working right back moved to England with West Ham United.
