When the South Africa is scattering balls aiming at the side and the back of the DF line with the center of the anchor's Tabo Sere, the Japanese defensive organization flutters, it is easy to get backed up and replaced, and pinch .

In 7 minutes you can easily for one-to-one in the middle stage, passed through the loop pass behind the DF line. MF Grand Marginman's shot, which was received by MF Grand Margin, got off the track but GK Kojima Kosuke hit the track, but hit the foot of DF Fuyasu Kanehi who jumped into the shoot block and stabbed it in the goal.

In the unfortunate Own goal, if you scored your goal in the first place, South Africa has strengthened its offensive hand.

However, it was MF Dodo Saito's devoted defense that glowed here. He is a right side half, but continued to move without stopping his feet to fill the DF line, the space beside the voluntee, sometimes the central space.

His defense gradually began to invite mistakes in South Africa, and Japan began to have balls in good condition. Then, highly interlocking attacks in Japan began to be effective.

48 minutes after the start of the second half, through pass from DF Funaki Xi who took a high position on the left side reaches through FW Iwasaki Yuto who left the penalty area to the left. When Iwasaki sent it to Nia with a liner, FW Ogawa Juki was there.


Ogawa's shot hit DF and the speed fell, but before GK came out, he crossed the goal line and the Japanese came to the same point with the goal of the ace striker.

In Japan, which completely regained momentum, FW Kubo Hidehi replaced MF Miyoshi Kanji in 59 minutes and MF Endo Kenta was introduced instead of Iwasaki in 68 minutes. I will cut off the attack card in rapid succession and strengthen the aggressor.

Then in the 72nd, Endo who received the ball on the left side cuts in from the cut-in, and the path of the wedge to Jeonan that entered the central space. This is developed in Kubo where Director Directly escaped to the space on the left of the penalty area. Kubo also looked down at the furry side brook, but went back to Jodo who came running direct, a negative return. Directed by this, Directo stabbed the opposite side net, and finally succeeded in reversing.

In Japan that suddenly gets on the momentum, Endo intensely shoots in the 78th minute, while Itakura Ko of the volunteer aims at the head in the 88th minute, but both were blocked by GK.
In the end, Japan, which seized the initiative completely, dropped South Africa with a 2-1 reverse win and played a good start in the first game in an unprecedented manner.
 
Group League Round 2 Race - U - 20 Japan - Ren Chai Table 0 - 2 U - 20 Uruguay

Uruguay, who played deadly with Italy in the first game and had a 1-0 victory, was actually one of the winning candidates for this competition. FW Rodrigo Amarau, who carries the number 10, was a bench for injury in Italy, but MF Rodrigo Benthancool, FW Nicholas Delacruz, Nicholas Skorpakasse, and other European scouts also attracted players I participated in the stamen.

Just against Japan 's powerful world, Japan has no more, the game entered. Directo through pass, which received the pass of Punki in the early two minutes. Ogawa got out, but it did not match a bit.

In 5 minutes Miyoshi and Ogawa 's one - to - one pass received Miyoshi' s last pass to the left side of the tree, and sent a near cross to Nia, but this was hindered by GK 's favorable decision. In the eighth minute the brooker from the left of Funaki is matched by Ogawa in near, but DF blocks. Iwasaki aims for Ichimaki's path of floating balls in the 9th but outside the frame.

It was completely Japanese pace until the first 15 minutes.
However, a nightmare shakes the team in 18 minutes.


Ogawa twists the left knee with the landing on the side of the opponent's battle against the opponent and fell as it was. The trainer came over and looked at the situation, but I could not get up. It was carried on the stretcher to the outside of the pitch, and a gesture of × from the trainer. I got on the stretcher and went down to the locker.

Ace injury withdrawal at the highest rising. As it was obvious that the injury was a serious injury at this point, players on the pitch could not hide upset. On behalf of the brook, Kubo is introduced quickly, but gradually the flow is to Uruguay.

In the 38th minute, a long pass from the CB was passed by DF Jose Luis Rodriguez on the right side, and after Rodriguez broke through, FW Skiapakasse calmly kicked in and allowed the opening goal.

It was a difficult development in Japan, but when I entered the second half, I made another opportunity. 54 minutes, Ichimaru intercept from the intersection, if it goes vertically in the vertical and goes 1: 1, I will aim for a loop shoot, but GK hands it. Kubo reacted to the ball which floated behind and aimed at the head, but he went over the bar without power.


In the 58th minute, Kubo dribbled two people from the left and made a strong shot. When the opponent GK showed a fine save, Doan's head packed with the spilled ball, the defender who turned to the goal cover desperately cleared before the goal line.

Japan wanting to catch up with the tie here, Iwasaki aims at Kubo's through pass in 66 minutes, but this was also blocked by GK.

Chance can be made, Japan can not be decided. Iwasaki, Dosan and Kubo set the structure further, but the game will not be able to break a solid block formed by Uruguay, the game will be in the latter half additional time.

In the 90 + 1 minute, Uruguay was dribbled by midfielder Marcelo Saracchi from the counter, and overtaking DF Mathias Olivera scored a waza-ari goal and took a rest. At this time, the number of Japanese defenders was the same, but they completely succumbed to the two.

The result was a 0-2 defeat. The advance to the finals tournament became a form to be left to the final race with Italy, but Japan suffered adversity that it loses absolute aces.
