Norway winger Caroline Graham Hansen has apologised for lashing out at coach Hege Riise after being dropped to the bench for Tuesday's scoreless draw with Switzerland at the Women's World Cup.

The 28-year-old was brought on as a second-half substitute at Hamilton's Waikato Stadium but the 0-0 draw left the former champions teetering at the exit of the tournament.
