Women's World Cup: Germany knocked out by Japan

Hosts and defending champions Germany were knocked out of the Women's World Cup when they were beaten 1-0 by Japan after extra-time in the quarter-finals.

Substitute Karina Maruyama drilled the winner past Germany goalkeeper Nadine Angerer in the 108th minute.
It was Germany's first World Cup defeat since they were beaten 3-2 by hosts the USA in the 1999 quarter-finals.
Japan will now face either Australia or Sweden, who meet on Sunday, in the semi-final in Frankfurt on Wednesday.
Germany put Japan under severe pressure in normal time, but in the second half of extra-time midfielder Homare Sawa picked out a deep run from Maruyama who slipped the ball under Angerer to silence a sell-out crowd of 26,067.
