And it was the USA who managed to score first, albeit well into the second half after plenty of chances prior.
Alex Morgan, a substitute at halftime, struck the ball perfectly past the Japanese keeper in the 68 minute.
Aya Miyama equalised in the 80th minute for Japan in a goalmouth scramble.
Then it was captain Abby Wambach who grabbed the lead back for the USA with a 100th minute header to take it to 2-1
