Monaco's Japanese national team midfielder Minamino Takumi (30) played in the home match against Strasbourg in 2-2 in the second half, scoring the winning goal in the same additional time. His first goal of the season led the team to a 3-2 victory.

It was a disappointing development where the team was caught up by a two-point difference, but the experienced Japanese national team attacker showed his strength in the game. He played in the 40th minute of the second half, with a 2-2 lead, and in the 51st minute he scored a prize for the final score. He ran to the finish line with a cross from the left and jumped out from his head. After the finish line, joy exploded.

He started in the match against Lille on the 24th, when he lost 0-1, and played until the 29th minute of the second half. However, the team conceded a goal late and lost 0-1. Still, Minamino said, “The condition isn't bad. I want to get a goal soon.” He achieved results in the match that was just after he spoke, giving the team three points.

He has played in 67 international A matches and scored 24 goals, the 10th most in history. While Japan's attacking teams including midfielder Doan Ritsu (Eintracht Frankfurt), midfielder Mitoko Kaoru (Brighton), and forward Ueda Kyoyo (Feyenoord) have kept visible numbers at each club, 30-year-old Minamino is still alive and well. After this, he will join the Japanese national team's US expedition, where they will be playing an international friendly match between Mexico (September 6) and the United States (September 9).
