Wang, who helped China end the scoring drought in the 2017 edition, expressed her regret for wasting many chances.

"If you don't catch chances, they may be caught by your opponent," she pointed out.

Australian head coach Alen Stajcic, meanwhile, was deeply impressed by Wang's performance, hailing her as a world-class player.

"She is a world-class player, and she is always dangerous," commented Stajcic.

China, as the leading fourth-placed team, had the opportunity of vying for the ninth position with Iceland, who sit at 20th on the FIFA world rankings.

With two wins in hand, Australia bested the Netherlands, who upset Sweden 1-0 on Monday, to go atop Group C, thanks to a better record in the two teams' matchup.

However, with one point less than Spain and Canada, Australia was still subject to a third-place matchup with Denmark, who stood out among group runners-up with their goal difference advantage.

Also on the tournament's final game day, Japan and the Netherlands will compete for the fifth position, with Sweden and Russia for the seventh, while Norway and Portugal vie for the 11th.
