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 goal by Cheryl Salisbury. Australia needed only a draw to advance, and Canada needed 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 3-0 team.

A boisterous crowd of 55,800 turned out at Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium to cheer on the home team, setting off flares and chanting "Two to nothing!" after China's first goal.

On Saturday, the No. 1-ranked United States will face England, and defending champion Germany faces North Korea. On Sunday, Norway faces China in the final eight, and Brazil plays Australia.

"I think if we are at our best, we can go to the semifinals," Norway coach Bjarne Berntsen said. "We were very casual in defense at times. We have to be much better defensively in the quarterfinals."

Ragnhild Gulbrandsen scored a hat trick — one goal in the first half and two in the second — to give her five for the tournament. Gulbrandsen's first goal was the 500th in the history of the Women's World Cup.

Lene Storlokken, Ane Stangeland Horpestad, Isabell Herlovsen and Lise Klaveness also scored for Norway.

Adjoa Bayor and Florence Okoe scored for Ghana.

Norway finished with seven points followed by Australia (4), Canada (3) and Ghana (0).

In Chengdu, Salisbury's goal gave Australia a 2-2 draw and put the Aussies into their first quarterfinals. Salisbury scored in the second minute of injury time to cancel out Canada's 85th-minute goal by its captain Christine Sinclair.

Had that goal stood, Canada would have reached the quarterfinals instead of Australia.

"When that ball came across, it was just sitting in front of me," Salisbury said. "I saw all the Canadian players going in one direction, so I just thought I'd put it behind them. It all seemed so slow and calm, and then the place just erupted — it was an awesome feeling."

Canada went ahead 1-0 on the second-fastest goal in Women's World Cup history when Melissa Tancredi scored on a volley after 32 seconds to beat goalkeeper Melissa Barbieri. Colette McCallum equalized for Australia early in the 53rd.

The quickest goal came in 30 seconds at the 1991 World Cup by Sweden's Lena Videkull.

Brazil, with star Marta directing traffic, dominated Denmark but could not score until the first minute of injury time when substitute Pretinha raced onto a through ball and lifted it over the onrushing Danish goalkeeper Heidi Johansen.

Brazil could have scored more except for poor finishing and great goalkeeping by Johansen.

The pro-Brazilian crowd at the Hangzhou Dragon Stadium oohed and awed each time Marta touched the ball, and she did not disappoint, launching passes around the field and dribbling past defenders.

Li Jie and Xie Caixia scored in the second half in China's victory over New Zealand, which lost its three games.

China launched repeated attacks but wasn't able to crack the gritty New Zealand defense until the 57th minute when Li scored off a free kick from Zhou Gaoping, heading the ball over keeper Jenny Bindon.
