On the evening of January 31, 2024, Beijing time, the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup will begin, Bahrain vs Japan. In the first half of the game, most of the substitute lineup of the Japanese team played heroically, and it can be said that "in the 31st minute of the first half, Ritsu Doan scored a goal to help the Japanese team take a 1-0 lead." In the second half, Bahrain Oolong assisted Hisashi to score the second goal. In the 66th minute of the second half, the Japanese goalkeeper made a mistake with the defender and gave Bahrain a goal. The goal was ridiculed by fans who believed that the black goalkeeper of the Japanese team was an undercover agent for the Bahrain team.
In the history of Bahraini football in the Asian Cup, it drew 3-3 with Japan in the semi-finals of the 2004 Asian Cup in China, and finally lost 3-4 to Japan in extra time. In Bahrain, in the Asian Qualifiers and Asian Championships, there has been a record of beating the Japanese team twice. The first was in the 2008 Asian qualifiers, when Bahrain beat Japan 1-0. The second time was in the 2009 Asian Championships, when Bahrain also beat Japan 1-0.
The Japanese team did not send a full main lineup, but in order to maintain the advantage on the field, the main players such as Hisashi Hisashi, Endo Hang, Tomiyasu Kenhiro and so on still appeared. And from the perspective of the field, the Japanese team occupies an absolute advantage. If this is played as a European team, the difference between the two teams is at least 4 goals or more.
At the beginning of the second half, Hisashi scored a goal, but the referee ruled it offside. However, the referee checked it through VAR and found that the ball was kicked by a Bahraini player to Hisashi Hisashi, so the goal was determined to be valid. Bahrain completed an own goal assist.
However, the Bahrain team played very tenaciously, and in the 63rd minute, the Bahrain team took advantage of a corner kick opportunity, which was not a threat. Bahrain's header towards goal was blocked by the goalkeeper, but the Japanese goalkeeper and defender made a mistake in the coordination, causing the two to combine to score the ball into their own goal.
It should be said that after the Japanese team took a 2-0 lead, the mentality relaxed, and the reason why they conceded this goal was ostensibly due to the miscoordination between the black goalkeeper and the defenders of the Japanese team, but it was mainly due to the carelessness of the players' mentality. However, even so, it should not be a problem for the Japanese team to beat the Bahrain team, and the strength of the Bahrain team is simply not enough to stop the Japanese team from attacking the championship.
