2023 FIFA Women's World Cup: Every goal of the semifinals
Heading into the final, Japan midfielder Hinata Miyazawa leads the tournament with five goals. The Nadeshiko was eliminated in the quarterfinals, but will she hold on to win the Golden Boot?
Only players from Spain or England still have a chance of catching Miyazawa.
Miyazawa's odds are dropped to -1600 from -700 after Sweden's 2-0 win over Australia in the third-place match. Sweden's Amanda Ilestedt was in a four-way tie for second with four goals but did not score against Australia.
Can Jennifer Hermoso (+2500) or Alba Redondo (+3300) rise up on behalf of Spain in the championship match?
Alessia Russo (+4000) hit the back of the next in England's past two matches and is England's top betting choice for the Golden Boot.
If two or more players tie for the Golden Boot, assists will be the tiebreaker.
Miyazawa, 23, recorded one assist.
If there is still a tie, the player who played the fewest minutes will be declared the Golden Boot winner.
'I feel like this is where the real competition begins'
Miyazawa being the heavy favorite for the Golden Boot at this late stage of the tournament is a surprise as she is not known for her goal-scoring prowess.
Miyazawa is a midfielder, and her main responsibility for the Nadeshiko is to control and dictate the tempo of the game.
Miyazawa has one goal this season for Mynavi Sendai in Japan's WE League and had four goals in 20 international matches prior to the WWC.
