Japan vs canada

Japan's most talented team in 20 years will make its final preparations for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar with a match against Canada at Al Maktoum Stadium in Dubai. The Samurai Blue is undefeated in five games and have not conceded a goal throughout that run of matches, which included a 2-0 victory in September over the United States. Canada's form going into its first World Cup finals tournament in 36 years has been less impressive, with John Herdman's team winning just one of its last four matches. Both teams face difficult opening group games at the World Cup, with Japan up against Germany and Canada taking on Belgium, so neither side will want to end their warm-up matches with a defeat.

A last-minute Head coach John Herdman opted for a few changes to the starting line-up following their lacklustre draw with Bahrain last Friday giving more players a chance to impress. He remained cautious with midfielder Stephen Eustáquio who sat on the bench. • Canada’s final test before their World Cup campaign begins didn’t start well. They were caught out within the first 10 minutes as Japan, ranked 24th in the world and who will also play in Qatar, took the lead. A shaky clearance from goalkeeper Milan Borjan allowed Japan to hit on the counter attack and winger Yuki Soma got on the end of the ball for 1-0. As the game progressed, the Canadians grew into the match and exuded more confidence which eventually led to the equaliser. Junior Hoillet sent a corner into the box where it found Atiba Hutchinson and the captain tipped the ball towards Steven Vitória who made things 1-1. Coming out into the second half, Canada made multiple substitutions seeing Jonathan Osorio, Joel Waterman, Cavallini and others enter the game. The team’s confidence continued to rise as they pushed for a late winner with Japan forced to sit back and soak up Canada's attacking threats. The final minutes were end-to-end with mistakes in focus. Japan caught Canada's defence sleeping and went on to hit the post before Richie Laryea was taken down in the box at the other end. Cavallini then stepped up to the penalty spot and pulled off the Panenka to ensure Canada claimed the 2-1 win.

It was the second shutout win in a row to open the tournament for the Little Mountain Little Leaguers of Vancouver, who beat Australia 7-0 on Wednesday. Japan is a perennial power at the event, having won it 11 times. Canada has never captured the crown. “We knew Japan was the favourite to come into the game. The longer we kept it close, the more pressure was going to build on them," Canada manager Ulysses Yan said. Benjamin Dartnell's three-run double was the big blow in the sixth for Canada. Dartnell, as a pitcher, notched eight strikeouts in the win over Australia. “When I’m pitching, I mostly focus on pitching well. I always try to hit well, but I don’t think about it as much. I just think about pitching," Dartnell said. "When I’m not pitching, I think more about hitting and how to do well. My hit came at the right time, too.” Lucas Weisser and Jaxon Mayervich combined on a five-hit shutout, striking out 12. Canada returns to action on Monday against Mexico. "The team’s still pretty grounded," Yan said. "We all understand everything from now on is all gravy. We’ll remain competitive regardless who we’re facing as long as we play our game and stick to the basics.” The tournament is a double-knockout event.
