Japan won the SheBelieves Cup for the first time with a 2-1 victory over the USA, while Colombia beat Australia to take third place.

The Nadeshiko netted early in each half to end a run of five SheBelieves Cup titles for the USA.

In only the second minute, Yuka Momiki received a ball from Yui Hasegawa and took advantage of a collision between goalkeeper Jane Campbell and defender Emily Sonnett to clip a shot into the empty net.

Catarina Macario turned and played Ally Sentnor away to fire the hosts back on level terms a dozen minutes later.

Five minutes after the break, Hasegawa’s free kick was parried by Campbell but Toko Koga was first to the rebound to score what proved to be the winning goal.

Colombia struck first after Linda Caicedo intercepted a backpass and found Mayra Ramirez, who picked out Wendy Bonilla to fire home from the edge of the box.

Australia were level midway through the second half, Hayley Raso taking down a long ball from Charlotte Grant, nutmegging one defender and netting via a deflection off another.

But just four minutes later Las Cafeteras hit the winner, Catalina Usme’s effort deflecting up and over goalkeeper Teagan Micah.
