Japan held firm after that and completed a dominant campaign, while Australia fell short at home despite strong support and late pressure.

Michelle Agyemang (England) left on a stretcher 18 minutes after coming on in a 3–0 win over 10-player Australia. Concern centred on a possible knee issue, with teammates visibly alarmed. The teenager has been influential since her breakout and Euro 2025 impact; any layoff would hit England’s attacking depth during a congested autumn window. England controlled proceedings after Alanna Kennedy’s early red, debuting Taylor Hinds and Lucia Kendall and finally using Maya Le Tissier centrally. Agyemang replaced Alessia Russo at 2–0 before the injury halted her cameo. Immediate treatment and removal followed, with media witnesses flagging knee pain. England will prioritise imaging, swelling control and graded return protocols pending diagnosis.
