Japanese Soccer Won Again By Five Goals
The Japanese soccer team, which is competing for the title with Korea at the Qatar Asian Cup, has won 10 consecutive A-matches. It had a landslide victory over Jordan, which is competing with Korea in the group league, by five goals.
Japan, led by head coach Moriyasu Hajime, won 6-1 in a closed-door warm-up match against Jordan, which ended at Al-Ersal Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 10th. Japan, which had a 5-0 ㅣ against Thailand in Tokyo on the 1st, headed for the Asian Cup finals with another multi-score victory.

Notably, European-based players have been active in their teams, and are considered strong candidates for the upcoming event.
Japan scored four goals in the first half alone, starting with Itagura Go Mönchengladbach’s first goal in the 12th minute of the first half, followed by Keito Nakamura Lance, his opponent’s own goal, and Takumi Minamino AS Monaco. In the second half, as Asano Takuma Bochum scored a penalty kick and Daizen Maeda Celtic scored an additional goal, they easily overpowered Jordan, who recovered one last goal.
