Japan welcomes the powerful Australia at home. From the beginning of the match, Japan continued to push the opponent, and the match progressed with an advantage in offense and defense. Both wing-backs were active in attack, and in defence, the back three played a central role. Although the score did not change in the first half, it was a development that highlighted Japan’s strong performance. However, it was the away team that came to Japan that moved the match. In the 58th minute, Shogo Taniguchi’s own goal put Japan in the chase. Then Japan further attacked Australia. It was difficult to score a goal, but FW Keito Nakamura, who came on as a substitute, made a brilliant breakthrough that triggered an own goal for the opponent. Japan was able to tie the score, but they were just one step away from reversing the score and the game ended in a draw.
