Kogure praises Japan’s composure in huge win over Korea Republic

Kuwait City: Japan head coach Kenichiro Kogure praised his players for keeping their composure against a resilient Korea Republic side, before powering to a 6-0 win on Matchday Two of the AFC Futsal Asian Cup™ Kuwait 2022 on Friday. 

Three goals in either half saw the three-time champions bag their first win of the tournament, reigniting their hopes of reaching the knockout stage. 

After taking a two-goal lead by the seventh minute, Japan were forced to play more defensively as Korea Republic initiated power play, but the Samurai Blue handled the pressure exceptionally well to keep a clean sheet.
