USA Women take third place

USA cruised past Norway to secure third place at the Women's World Cup in a one-sided play-off in Shanghai.

Abby Wambach put the USA ahead before the break with a clever backheel flick from Lori Chalupny's goalbound shot and Wambach made it 2-0 from a corner.

It was 3-0 when a lucky double ricochet saw the ball eventually go in off Chalupny and Heather O'Reilly bundled in the fourth from close range.

Ragnhild Gulbrandsen pulled one back for Norway with a neat header.
