Japan’s Daizen Maeda on facing Indonesia: All we have to do now is win | Asian Cup 2023 | Japan National Soccer Team | Kaoru Mitoma

Japan continued their preparations without the starters of yesterday’s match in Doha on Saturday a day after Japan was beaten by Iraq 2-1 in the Asian Cup Group D second match.

As Indonesia moved up to third in the standings after beating Vietnam 1-0, the Samurai Blue need at least a draw against Indonesia in the final match on Wednesday to seal their spot in the knockout stage.

In the 2019 edition, Japan lost to Qatar 3-1 in the final.
