Shu stars as Japan defend women's gold

Fukuroi: Goalkeeper Shu Ohba kept out Jong Kum’s spot-kick to ensure Japan successfully defended their Asian Games title at Shizuoka Stadium on Friday as the event hosts won 5-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw at the end of 120 minutes.

Ohba dived to her left to keep out Jong Kum’s under-hit effort in the third round of the shoot-out after Hanon Nishino had scored four minutes from time to salvage Japan’s efforts to win a third consecutive title.

Mami Ueno had given the Japanese a 32nd minute lead but Jong Kum levelled in the 47th minute and Jon Ryong Jung put DPR Korea in front with 22 minutes remaining as her nation sought to win the gold for the first time since 2014.

But Nishino’s cool finish earned the Japanese a late reprieve and Ohba took full advantage to secure her country’s fourth success in the event at the Asian Games.
