Norway must attack Switzerland and seize the initiative if they are to claim their first victory at the Women's World Cup, after failing to live up to their potential in a shock loss to New Zealand, coach Hege Riise said on Monday.

Norway striker Ada Hegerberg is a force to reckon with when she plays for Olympique Lyonnais, but she has not scored in a major international tournament since 2015, partly due to her self-imposed five-year exile from the national team.
