Good move he was running out of gas in the last 10 minutes or so, made bad decisions and bullied Australian players.
Haraguchi coming fresh and outpacing an opponent and passed the ball to centre of the box to Ideguchi who's shot was somehow blocked. It was almost 2-0 for us and it would be great for Ideguchi to scored his first international goal in such a crucial game.
Mission accomplished. Vahid, the player and JFA have a 9 months to tune-in for the World Cup. Good Luck Japan.
What a 2nd half of football. Don't think Australia even had a chance. Wonderful way to qualify! And holy hell what a strike Ideguchi, made in J.League!
Qualification is there, but the game was hideous. Of course Hali won't matter, but I hope to see new faces in Riyadh (Nakamura, please, FFS) and many experiments from now to WC. 6th WC in a row is good.
