in the second round of the group stage of the asian qualifiers for the world cup, a "massacre" occurred again, and its creator was still the japanese team, ranked first in asia!

speaking of the japanese team, fans who follow chinese football must be familiar with it. after more than 20 years of continuous development, the japanese men's football team has grown into a world-class team. in the latest fifa rankings, the japanese team ranked 18th, ranking first in asia. in the first round of the top 18, the home team of japan defeated the chinese team 7-0, giving china the most painful defeat in the world cup qualifiers.

after a short break, the japanese team flew to west asia without stopping, ushering in the second round of group matches with bahrain. bahrain can be said to be the dark horse in this group. they defeated australia 1-0 away from home, which was the biggest upset of this round of 18. returning to their home court this round, bahrain naturally wanted to make persistent efforts and create a miracle on japan. but japan is not australia. in the face of the absolute gap in strength, bahrain has no chance of an upset.

in the first half, although bahrain played a solid defense, japan still found loopholes. bahrain fullback harasi accidentally committed a handball foul while defending in the penalty area, and the referee blew the whistle decisively to award a penalty kick. ueda yukie scored the penalty kick steadily, helping japan to easily take a 1-0 lead.

after the change of sides, in the 47th minute, the japanese team played a series of clever cooperation in the frontcourt. ueda yoshie received the pass from ito jun'ya in the penalty area and turned and shot to score. while performing a double play, the difference between the two teams was widened to two goals. in the subsequent games, the bahrain team, unwilling to fall behind, gradually strengthened their offense, but the excessive investment on the offensive end also made their defense line more exposed. in just 3 minutes, the japanese midfielder morita hidemasa scored two goals in a row, instantly expanding the score to 4-0, killing the suspense of the game in advance!

at the last moment of the game, koki ogawa, who came on as a substitute, scored another goal, locking the final score at 5-0. in the end, the japanese team defeated bahrain 5-0, successfully won two consecutive victories, and continued to lead the group. in the two games, the japanese team scored 12 goals and did not concede a goal. the performance on both offense and defense was perfect. it can be said that their strength has completely surpassed the scope of asia, and it is only a matter of time before they enter the world cup again.

in this regard, chinese fans can only secretly envy. after all, there is already a huge gap between us and japanese football. in the next ten or even twenty years, we can only struggle to catch up.
