Maldonado : The opening match of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Uruguay 2018 failed to produce an opening goal, as Japan and Brazil played out a 0-0 stalemate in their Group B clash at Estadio Domingo Burgueño on Tuesday.
Futoshi Ikeda's side showed technical and tactical quality but lacked the polish required to break their opponents down in a match of few clear cut chances, failing to win their opening fixture in the tournament for the first time since 2010.
Winners of the competition in 2014, and runners-up two years later, Japan began their 2018 campaign with a customary emphasis on precise passing and movement, but their organised opponents made it difficult for the Asians to find a way to goal.
