FW Hosoya Masahiro (23, Kashiwa Reysol), the Japanese national team (17th in the FIFA rankings), scored the first goal in the match against China national team (94th in the FIFA rankings).

The man who was entrusted with the number 10 as the ace of the domestic group met his expectations. FW Hosoya scored the opening goal early in the start. In the 11th minute of the first half, midfielder Tanaka received a vertical pass near the penalty area, and the opponent's defender was missed with a one-trap, and while he turned it on, he scored the left side of the goal with a right volley. He scored a strong core-like goal for Hosoya, making his third goal in eight international A matches. Kashiwa's main focus was also showing his distinctive decisiveness in the national team.

This is his second appearance in E-1. Last time, they were unable to produce results and were unable to compete in the same World Cup in Qatar tournament in 2022. This time, my feelings are stronger than anyone else. The national team has been behind the forwards Ueda and Ogawa, and as in the last year, they are still just about to join the team. That is why he recognizes the importance of this World Cup North and Central America, which is approaching a year later, saying it is “very important.”

The first match against Hong Kong, where rival Jermaine scored four goals, was not played. He was shown the first record for the national team in 95 years on the bench. “I want to be able to do well in an explosion.” He appealed with a blow that would clear his frustration.
