=Japan vs Spain=

Japan's 23% of possession was the lowest for a winning side at the Women's World Cup since this stat began being recorded in 2011. This match was compared to the Japan men's team's victory against Spain at the 2022 World Cup, in which Japan's 18% of possession was also the lowest for a winning side at the men's World Cup since recording began in 1966.{{cite news|title=The lowest share of possession for a winning side at the FIFA Women|work=Opta Joe|date=2023-07-31|url=https://twitter.com/OptaJoe/status/1685940156623413249}}{{cite news|title=Japan are the best side at the World Cup so far – Spain didn’t know how to cope with them|work=The Athletic|date=2023-07-31|first=Michael|last=Cox|url=https://theathletic.com/4735279/2023/07/31/japan-spain-womens-world-cup/}}

Discipline

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers in the group should the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:

  • first yellow card: minus 1 point;
  • indirect red card (second yellow card): minus 3 points;
  • direct red card: minus 4 points;
  • yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points;

Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
