Japan national team (17th in the FIFA rankings) defender Mochizuki Henry Haiki (23, FC Machida Zelvia), scored his first national team goal in the East Asia E-1 Championships against China national team (94th in the 2018 Championship). Mochizuki, who was his first start in the national team, received a pass from midfielder Inagaki Yoshi (33, Nagoya Grampus) on the right side of the penalty area in the 18th minute of the second half, with the score at 1-0, and swung his left foot from the cut-in, hitting the opponent's defender and sucked him into the goal. It was a valuable addition. He was selected in the Asian final qualifying rounds at the North and Central America World Cup in October last year, but was not selected since then. He made his national team debut in the previous match against Hong Kong and was used as a right wingback, and he achieved excellent results this time.
