Wang Shanshan wasted a golden chance by slicing wide an empty goal in the 58th minute. Her attacking partner Wang Shuang also saw a turnaround shot from a close range miss the target in the 75th minute.
Wang Shanshan got a consolation goal on the stroke of stoppage time. She chested down Gu Yasha's cross and swept home.
For Jia, the score reflected the gap between the two sides, also because his team fared below par.
"European women's teams emphasize on body contact, which is Asian teams' weakness. We can have chances of winning matches only when we are used to that and show our characters, but it was not the case today. The defeat was no surprise to me," he pointed out.
Following consecutive victories over Denmark and China, Norway has secured a top position in Group C as there are three teams in each of four groups this year. China and Denmark will contend for runner-up in Monday's final round group match.
"We did very well in the game today," admitted the Norwegian head coach Martin Sjogren. "We also want to play an Asian team kind of resembling South Korea that we are going to play in June in the World Cup. We handled the game today very well. We made a good step in the right direction with the game today, but also with the game against Denmark."
