[Yongin (Korea) = Nagata Jun]The Japanese national team (17th in the FIFA rankings) defeated the Chinese national team (94th in the 2nd place), 2-0, and they were able to win the championship for the second consecutive tournament.

FW Jermaini (30, Sanfrecce Hiroshima), who exploded with four goals in his first match against Hong Kong, played from the start of the second half, revitalizing his attack.

In the previous round, he was steady in the penalty area, but this time he went down to the second row and pulled out the ball, leading to the front line. “I often played farther than the box, but I was a little closer to the goal, and after using it, I got in one more inning and took another shot, but I couldn't get to the final finish,” he said, frustrated that he had no goals.

Although he didn't score any goals, his good condition oozed out from his play. In order to win the top scorer, he vowed to join the match against South Korea, saying, “We have a wide range of physically strong players. I have the impression that they're going tight and hard on the ball, so we need more skill. I think that results will be a more important game, so I want to be particular about getting the points in front of the goal and scoring.”
