Argentina 0 - 0 JapanArgentina secured their first point at a Women's World Cup finals after holding Japan in a dour goalless draw at Parc des Princes. The South Americans, eliminated from the group stages at the 2003 and 2007 finals, turned in a dogged defensive display to deny Japan victory in their opening Group D game. Yuika Sugasawa and Shoya Nakajima both spurned early half-chances, but otherwise Japan, for all their possession, lacked a cutting edge. Aya Sameshima was next to threaten for Japan, but her burst into the box was thwarted by Virginia Gomez's sliding tackle. Argentina briefly threatened when Sole Jaimes' shot was blocked following Estefania Banini's run and cross from the left, but the South Americans offered little going forward.
