With a 7-0 win over Thailand, the Japanese team finally broke out and showed the strength of the defending champions. In this game, they were able to win by a large score, mainly because the performance of the odd soldier Yuika Sugazawa was too good. First-time starter Yuki Sugazawa scored four goals and assisted two goals to make six of all seven goals. At the same time, she also chased Wang Shuang, who also scored 4 goals, on the top scorer list.
The Japanese team is back in form, which is not a good thing for the Chinese team, because the two teams are likely to meet directly in the next semi-finals. What's worse is that the Japanese team has defeated the Chinese team for three consecutive times in the past three Asian Cups, which can be called the biggest nemesis of the Chinese team.
A quarter-final of the Women's Asian Cup was contested, with Japan, the third in Asia, facing Thailand. In this match, the core player of the Japanese team, The No. 10 Iwabuchi Jina, came back and appeared in the starting lineup, along with Hasegawa, Hinata Miyazawa, Saki Kumagaya, Yuika Sugazawa and others.
In the 14th minute of the first half, Hasegawa used his personal ability to burst into the penalty area to create a penalty, and Iwabuchi Shina took the penalty. Perhaps because she had just recovered from the new crown, Jina Iwabuchi lost her standard on penalties and was saved by the opposing goalkeeper.
In the 27th minute, the Japanese team split the ball on the left side of the middle road and then passed the ball to the penalty area, and Sugazawa Yuika wrapped up the shovel in the middle of the road to break the goal, 1-0, the Japanese team broke the deadlock.
In half-time, Hasegawa was straight, Mana Iwabuchi burst into the penalty area at high speed and crossed the middle of the road, the Thai defender made a mistake in a hurry, and Miyazawa Hinata grabbed the ball and easily pushed the empty goal. 2-0, Japan extended the score.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Japanese team launched an attack on the left side, Sugasawa Yuika got the ball back to do it, and Sumida pushed and easily scored. In the 64th minute, Japan again won a penalty opportunity, and Yuika Sugazawa scored easily to make the score 4-0.
In the ensuing match, the Thai team, which was behind by a large score, suddenly collapsed, conceded three goals in a row, and finally defeated the Japanese team by a score of 0-7, in which Yuki Kazawa staged the senior year.
