Nadeshiko Japan Advances to Quarterfinals After Defeating Nigeria, Set to Face USWNT

Nadeshiko Japan Advances to Quarterfinals After Defeating Nigeria, Set to Face USWNT

Nadeshiko Japan has earlier on Wednesday, July 31 beating Nigeria with a lot of strength after beating Brazil the following day. In Nantes Group C match Japan thrashed their opponents 3-1 with most of the goals scored before half time which ensured the team a place in the tournament’s semi final.

This exciting victory means that the Japanese team who managed only six goals in the entire group stage will get the United States in the final eight. The game which is expected to have the US qualifying to the next round in the competition against Japan after it went through group B with all victories will be played on Saturday, August 3, at Paris.

"I feel happy to have come out of a difficult Group C," Nadeshiko manager Futoshi Ikeda  "We carried the game out well while watching how the opposing team came at us. Each of our players are thinking about what they can do and fulfilling their responsibilities."

Except for the goal Nigeria scored through Jennifer Echegini in the 42nd minute, Japan’s lead was reclaimed by Hikaru Kitagawa who scored two goals. In the fifth minute of stoppage time of the first half, a splendid free kick taken by number 9 Kitagawa from the 25-meter mark put Japan back in the lead and sealed the victory.

"I'm extremely happy, but it was a goal the team let me score," Hamano said of her first international goal. She added, "I played with only victory in mind. I played with a conscious effort to give the team momentum today."

There has been a great push from the USWNT as they progress to the subsequent stages, especially from Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson, and Trinity Rodman. After the simplistic group stages, Hayes led her team into the knockout rounds with a clean record outscoring the competitors 9-0 in Group B Established midfielders Rose Lavelle and Lindsey Horan have played almost an indispensable role and Sam Coffey has been relentless in defense. US wither appears to be on fire and looks destined to challenge to win the gold in Para, despite needing occasional changes to its defense.

Spain had a narrow victory over Japan in the first match in a very evenly balanced Group C, so the latter placed second. They topped their section with a victory over Nigeria and staged an incredible fightback to stun Brazil with a stoppage time equalizer and now ready for this glamour tie with United States of America. It has alarmed me that a change in tact has seen Japanese team win the heart of the fans and one of such players is Mina Tanaka.

This match may go into extra time and even penalties, as it is sure to be a much more demanding affair after the group stage for the US ladies. Japan’s capability to deliver counterattacks at the speed might put pressure on the U. S. defense. However, attacking prowess is where Hayes’ team is more likely to prevail since they appear to be stronger.
