Match Stats

Iraq:

Iraq made another encouraging start to the Asian Cup, securing victory in their opening group fixture for the third consecutive time.This triumph also marked the team's first win of the year. They responded effectively to an Indonesian equalizer, scoring a late goal in first-half stoppage time to shift the momentum in their favor.Iraq tends to showcase their most potent attacking prowess in the group stage of this tournament, scoring three or more goals in three of their last four Asian Cup group stage outings.


Japan:

Japan had an unconvincing first 45 minutes in their opener, but a late surge of goals just before halftime provided them with momentum heading into the break.This situation mirrored their position four years earlier when, in the 2019 Asian Cup, they were trailing in their opening group fixture before scoring three unanswered second-half goals to secure a 3-2 victory against Turkmenistan.Following a challenging first half against Vietnam, Hajime Moriyasu witnessed a much more composed group of players in the second half. They controlled the tempo of the match during the final 45 minutes, extending their winning streak to 11 matches in all competitions.


Analysis:

No one has been able to decipher how to impede the relentless Japanese attack for quite some time now. Their dynamic offensive prowess, coupled with their ability to score consistently at a high pace, should be more than sufficient to secure yet another victory.
