Norway, Australia, Brazil and host China reached the women's World Cup quarterfinals on Thursday, completing the eight-team field for this weekend's showdowns.

Norway hammered Ghana 7-2 in Hangzhou, leaving the Africans with three losses in three Group C games. Australia rallied to draw Canada 2-2 on an injury-time equalizer by Cheryl Salisbury. Australia needed only a draw to advance, with Canada needing a victory in its final game in the southwestern city of Chengdu.

China edged New Zealand 2-0 in Group D in Tianjin to advance, and Brazil defeated Denmark 1-0 in Hangzhou, leaving the South Americans as the only team with three victories from three group games.
