India 0-4 Japan LIVE Score, AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026: Miyazawa Scalps Brace; Tanaka's Back Heel Sets Her Up

Japan keep on scoring. Fourth one in and India are in absolute shambles. Fluid moment of play from Japan. Mina Tanaka receives the ball at the top of the box and as an Indian defender follows her, she back heels the ball through the feet of Miyazaki who wins the one vs one against Panthoi. Slots it inside the net and quadruples the lead.

The third one comes from Japan is absolutely no time. They have been putting in crosses and cut backs from both wings and India are defending desperately. This time Yui Hasegawa receives a ball in the box with her back to the goal, taking no time to turn, she sets it up for Hinata Miyazawa, who easily slots in the ball to the top left corner. Japan are dominant here.

Japan keep piercing India with their combination play in the attacking third. India are down to their own box and Japan are controlling the game. They score their second just in the 13th minute as Yui Hasegawa slots in a cut back from Yuzuki Yamamoto. Yamamoto has been a menace at the left side of the Team India defence and she creates a goal this time for Hasegawa. India are fading away from the game.

India concede a goal just in the fourth minute. Japan establish their authority quickly in the first half and break the Indian defiance through a solo effort. Yuzuki Yamamoto receives the ball, cuts in and then lands a curling left-footed shot past Panthoi's hands. Quick lead for Japan.

The match is underway with the kick-off and Japan are building up the play from the back. India has immediately dropped to their structure of 4-4-2 and are aiming to not concede a goal early in the game. Japan will test their endurance.

India lost 1-2 against Vietnam after conceding a last-minute goal. They conceded a goal in the first half but came back strong in the second half by scoring the equaliser. But they couldn't hold on as Vietnam scalped the winner in the added time.

India and Japan have faced each other just once in women’s international football. That came during an Olympic Games qualifier in October 2023, where Japan thrashed India 7-0, with six goals coming in the second half.
