...Hajime Moriyasu has been quite happy. The show is tactical flexibility and he brings...
...issue with the VAR earlier.
Endo with the header, and it is one!
Wataru Endo, Ueda, with the cutback.
It's put in!
Well, it looks like it's been put in.
Well...
...three central defenders in possession, and they can build, and it's a beautiful cross!
And it's two!
Two Japan!
Kaoru Mitoma!
Mitoma.
Minamino.
Minamino!
Makes it three!
Machida.
Good one from Minamino again!
Makes it four!
...by Kubo, into Ito.
Still with Ito, and it's taken a deflection!
He's celebrating it, he's claiming it.
And the camera pans do jump one time.
They won't be caring who scored.
That's a good ball in for Maeda!
And it's six!
To the left.
Lifts it into the area.
Kubo.
Kubo!
He gets his goal!
7-7 for Japan.
Takefusa Kubo, two in the first half.
Hashimi Moriyasu has made one change from the side that won in Saiten,
getting us underway, playing in the dark strip from right to left.
Mitoma.
Lovely ball in!
Oh, it's off the post!
Sliding in was Dohan.
Had to take...
...already.
Conditions are hot.
And the shot comes in, and it's straight at the goalkeeper.
It was Minamino.
Got into a good position there, beyond the last defender.
Kamada's on that far side.
Tries to get the cross in, and it's blocked in the end for a corner.
In fact, no, there's a penalty given.
The referee has put...
...in Ueda's eyes to try and put him off.
But it's not going to stop him.
He's rammed that penalty home with his right foot.
Change that dynamic.
Substitute Ito getting the crossover, and the ball's in.
2-0.
Very good finish, and it's that man again, Ueda.
Two for him, two for Japan.
And the visitors are in.
Come back with interest.
Shot comes in across the face of goal.
Came on as a substitute.
Against Australia, it's in.
Yes, 3-0.
Morita, it is.
And Japan in cruise control now.
Another chance now for Japan, and yes, it's four.
And it's Morita again.
Two goals in two minutes for the Japanese,
and they're running riot here in Bahrain.
The ball off to Nakamura.
He gets the shot in.
It's saved, but it's in at the second attempt.
Another goal for Japan.
Ogawa, it is.
One of the substitutes.
So it's five now.
He's still hungry for more goals.
Ito gets the cross in.
Oh, and it's blasted over the top,
when really it should have been number six.
Asano it was.
The flag, though, had gone up on this near side,
so it wouldn't have counted.
Through ball again.
Ogawa's there.
And he's missed the target.
Just dragging his shot wide.
This is the Asian qualifiers on the road to 26.
This is football.
Two teams unbeaten in the groups.
It's Okura, Taniguchi, Machida.
A good back three.
Green kick-off going left to right
at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah.
He's got pace and strength.
The final striker on his own cross shot.
Minamino.
Ueda.
Ueda in space.
Ueda!
Good save.
Alcacer.
Penalty.
Ritsu looks for a chance at the back post.
Minamino!
And touchdown!
Kamada.
14th minute.
An eighth international goal for the Crystal Palace striker.
Ito the target.
Ito's first touch.
And Ogawa deflected over the top by Alilajami.
Lovely switch of play.
That's from Radiff.
Ito's ball.
And it's buried!
2-0!
It is wonderful for Japan.
The set players they work so, so hard on.
And Koki Machida.
Looks out to Ito.
Itakura wants it.
Beautiful ball!
And just tipped away from Nakamura.
...annexed in Saitama.
Because they have won here arguably the most...
...and...
...well, for some reason there is no doubt that today the pass is on the second tempo.
And further to the left.
Here it is not possible to penetrate.
Another cool pass.
A shot to the near post.
This is the first sharp episode.
It took the Japanese 5 minutes to get to the goal.
To penetrate.
Here it is not...
And immediately the speed appears.
Kubo!
Kubo goes under the front shot.
Pass is obtained.
Further fight.
Shot!
And here it is already 35 minutes for them.
All the same episode.
Takifusi Kubo.
So.
Dangerous.
Shot!
Here he is!
Chance!
This is what the Japanese need.
You need at least some freedom.
On the strike positions.
On the penalty line.
Everything was done well here.
With the first match in the third circle.
Here the attack is not...
But this is definitely not a failed first timing for the fifth number.
Pass!
The blow took place.
With violation of the rules.
Ayase Ue hits it.
Control.
Further through Smitomu.
Penalty ball.
This is not...
More focused on defense.
That is, Wengeri.
Through the right flank.
Good approach at low speed.
Amrik Asheti.
Djok Gauchi takes the ball in his hands.
Again Takifusi Kubo.
Again.
Emphasis is placed on the right flank.
And Jordan Bost on his own half went on three.
Moment!
Strike!
It does not work.
Accurate blow.
Disconnection from Miller.
Pass and a goal!
Japan scores!
Here is the error factor!
Here it is!
Error factor!
All...
Well, almost 60 minutes.
We told you that in such a closed football.
It will allow you to turn off there.
Serve.
Moment!
There may be problems.
Strike!
Dangerous from the flank.
There was no blocking here.
You can continue to play.
Lewis Miller falls in vain and loses time.
Pass.
Moment!
Goal!
Autogoal!
Another one!
Autogoal!
Another one!
Now Australia is already scoring their own goals.
Good translation.
So.
We look.
Displacement.
Strike!
Here is the acceleration.
Pass.
Here it will be.
And just the same on Agave.
Who was aiming for the ball there.
But Djok Gauchi takes the ball.
Once again.
We look.
The very first Interland.
And he does that on 28.
Four changes compared to the match against Australia.
In the red playing Indonesia.
By Idzis.
Here is Doan.
Doan and the header.
Big for Ogawa.
It is well extended.
Immediately pressure on the ball.
Strongly done by Kamada.
Doan tries it.
But the ball goes straight up.
Makes a pass.
Maschida, the central defender, is offensive.
Now Kamada.
And now they set it free.
And now the ball is in the goal.
Koki Ogawa is the goalkeeper.
Score counts.
1-0 for Japan.
But too little.
Especially due to a 2-2 draw against Bahrain.
And the defeat against China.
Next opportunity.
And they play Seiskalt down.
The 40th minute.
It is the double strike for Japan.
Minamino, the goalkeeper.
He was invited to download it in the Google Play Store.
By this Japanese national team.
He opened for the team of Hajime Moriasu.
And now.
The next shot through the legs.
And into the 0-3.
The mistake of Jay Idzis, the captain.
And they have ...
Shot Kamada.
This time flat.
This time good.
And the shot over the box.
From the second row.
Recorded at the 16th edge.
Now Sugawara.
Sugawara.
And he makes it.
69th.
Shaking and waiting.
And shaking and waiting.
And catapulting the ladies into the goal.
Next counterattack.
Speed again.
Ball in the middle.
In the middle towards Ito.
Already booking the tickets.
The second attempt.
Sugawara.
Out on Ito.
Ito in the middle.
Ito just past the post.
Sugawara.
Chance.
Double chance.
At the gates of the Japanese.
Dillon Suzuki.
Penalty pass.
Nizam.
Excellent pass.
Will there be a shot?
There will be.
Discount.
Pass back.
And the shot from the center of the field flies.
Kubo.
And decided to break through.
And this is good.
Kubo serves.
1-0.
Well, what to do.
Such a story.
Here is this shot.
Serve.
And 2-0.
2-0.
Itakura closed the far post.
Two corner, two goals.
Here is Japan.
The Chinese team immediately on the attack.
Kubo.
Received a pass from Minamino.
Penalty.
And this was great.
And this is a goal.
And the Chinese team scores at the 49th minute.
It is not clear what the composition is.
South of the Caribbean.
It is clear that the third goal.
Well, Kokegawa makes a double.
Everything is too simple.
Too simple.
Junito.
Serve.
So.
Well, today.
And a good serve.
Kubo serves.
Discount.
What about the blow?
And the blow was.
And the ball jumps next to the bar.
Oh, how they played.
And a blow from outside the goal.
It was great.
So.
Penalty pass.
Here is not very good.
Between the lines, when it is necessary.
Here it was not even possible to break through.
And also an offside.
Penalty pass.
Do not have time for it.
And now.
And now the highest goal.
Well, here is another moment.
The Japanese team misses.
The final whistle.
And Japan can ...
Machino with the header.
Mito.
Upside.
Tomada.
And it's the opener.
And a deserved goal for Japan.
They've been well on top.
Window.
Kubo.
And it's two.
Nineteen minutes in.
Japan are not flying here.
In Osaka.
Kubo.
It's away from Marcelino.
Machino.
Lovely ball into Kubo.
Hooks it wide.
Sano.
Back to Kubo.
And behind Indonesia's midfield easily.
Tomada glides into the area.
Still with Tomada.
And he finds the finish again.
Since June of last year.
As Nakamura.
Good run again at pace.
There's space to run into.
Nakamura.
Machino.
Whistle onto the far side.
For that finish.
From Morishita.
In a position where they can continue dreaming of a place at the World Cup.
Here comes Japan again though.
Kubo.
Into Machino.
They're looking for that.
Kubo.
And they find space so well.
Lovely.
It's called Aizano.
There ain't been a play.
By Shusano.
Sato.
Nakamura.
Sting it up.
Machino.
At the pace.
Into the far line.
Come back.
And it's another for Japan.
After six.
Over the top of Lillipali.
Decent ball in from Hei.
