Soccer At the Paris Olympics, Yamamoto Masahito scores the winning goal! Japan beats Mali 1-0 to advance to the quarterfinals with two consecutive wins! A first for the team without an overseas match.
◇27th◇Men’s preliminary league group D◇Bordeaux Stadium [Bordeaux (France) 27th (28th Japan time) = Sato Sei] The Japanese men’s national team defeated Mali and advanced to the quarterfinals with two consecutive wins. This is the first time that Japan has made it to the quarterfinals with members under the age of 23 without making use of over-age (OA) players, who have no age limit. Coach Tsuyoshi Oiwa (52) changed three starters from the first match against Paraguay, which Japan won 5-0. Following the injury sustained by forward Hirakawa Yu (23, Bristol City) in the first match against Paraguay (5-0 victory), backup midfielder Yamada Fuuki (23, Tokyo Verdy) was registered as a member of the squad. He made his first start alongside midfielder Ryotaro Araki (22, FC Tokyo) and defender Ryuya Nishio (23, Cerezo Osaka). They got off to a strong start against the team they lost to 1-3 in a friendly match in March. Japan was able to keep possession of the ball while Mali set up a block in an attempt to counterattack. Although they struggled to find a breakthrough, they took advantage of the opponent’s weaknesses and threatened the opponent’s goal several times, with forwards Masahiro Hosoya (22, Kashiwa Reysol) and Araki creating good opportunities. With the score at 0-0 in the 16th minute of the second half, the opposition took a sharp shot from in front of the goal, but goalkeeper Reo Brian Kokubo (23, Sint-Truiden) saved it with his left hand, ensuring the score remained unaffected. In addition, in the 26th minute, they took a header from a free kick, but it hit the left post and went wide. Luck was on his side too. After enduring the resistance, they had a chance to score. In the 37th minute of the second half, ace forward Masahiro Hosoya (23, Kashiwa Reysol) dribbled vertically from the right side and sent a low cross in front of the goal. Forward Sato Yoshimitsu (23, Bremen) ran in and hit the ball with his right foot. The rolling shot was saved by Mali’s goalkeeper, but midfielder Yamamoto Rihito (23, Sint-Truiden) slid to push the rebound into the goal. 1-0. Yamamoto’s second consecutive goal finally broke the deadlock. In added time, midfielder Kawasaki Sota (22, Kyoto Sanga) was called for a handball, giving the opponent a penalty kick. This missed and Japan won. Japan is the only one of the 16 participating teams that is competing without an OA. There is no obligation for clubs to send players outside of international match days, and candidates such as national team captain Wataru Endo (31, Liverpool) and defender Hiroki Machida (26, Saint-Gilloise) were rejected one after another. Even though they are from the same generation, players with experience playing for the national team, such as Takefusa Kubo (23, Real Sociedad) and goalkeeper Zyon Suzuki (21, Parma), were not called up. In the 1996 Atlanta tournament, where the team only competed with players aged 23 or under, they pulled off a miracle in Miami by defeating Brazil, but were eliminated in the first round. The 2008 Beijing Games ended with three straight losses. At a tournament that National Team Director Masakuni Yamamoto described as a “turning point” after the team was unable to select its members as they had hoped, the young Samurai made history in a brilliant move. ★Time 1 posted: 2024/07/28 (Sun) 05:57:59.01 Previous thread.
Anyway, the tax league should be disbanded quickly lol Soccer doesn’t care about the inconvenience it causes to others is a selfish idiot-making machine lol [Soccer] J League criticizes lack of progress in new stadium construction, takes tough stance on Blaublitz Akita’s J1 license for next season [Gore Magara★] Heading It’s the same as a library! I’m tired of hearing that nonsense lol It’s just a specific profit-making organization saying that infrastructure should be built with tax money lol Build me a house I’ll open my garden sometimes lol.
Mali must win the final match. Paraguay needs to win because if they draw, they will be eliminated if they win by even one point against Japan, who will have Israel turn over. The final match between Paraguay and Mali will be a bloody one!

If the referee was a man, Fujita would have been sent off. Luckily it was a woman. Well, the next game was a dead end, so it would have been fine for him to get a yellow card on purpose at the end.
