First-Minute Goal, Controversial Red Card, Japan Get Lucky in U23 Asian Cup Quarterfinal

their goalkeeper sent off in the quarterfinal. Well, the moment he went over to the screen, you feared a little here for Ysef Abdullah. There is clear stamping two. Knockout football at the culminating in the glorious triumph that year. Could be a glorious start as well and it is a glorious start. It's Yamada. Wow. Just a minute in and a ripping opening goal for Japan in this quarterfinal. Kuki Yamada of Tokyo Birdie. A little bit of room on the right hand side. That's all they need. These tricky players that flit around behind the central striker Yamada operating down the right only needed a sight of goal. Still going has a player outside him. Fances it himself. Fuja still going. Serves up the cross as well. Again the Sawya throwing himself at that. Well defended relentless here from Japan. Later shot from S Guiwa, a four-time J1 winner in his playing days. Another shot from Guru Matsuki. Japan a little bit loose. Cut back there to Khalid Ali. Had a covering player. It's going to be a corner ball now for Kata. A little bit complacent at the back. That's Yazidi. Decent cross. The header planted superbly home by Ahmed Al Rawi. Oh boy, what a relief for Katar that he was pass to play tonight. A brilliant free kick against Indonesia and now a brilliant header to level up this quarterfinal. We have got a game on now. Midway through the first half. Gatar level it up.
