Hatate Reo scored the second for the Japan. A minute later poor defending coursed Japan's third goal, scored by Maeda Daizen.

Game seemed over after first ten minutes of the game. Pakistan fought bravely. It looked as though they had stopped the leak in the defense when Iwasaki Yuto had a crushing drive past Saqib hanif for Japan's 4th. Captain Saddam had a free kick from just outside the box. He sent it over the bar.

Second half header was just saved by the Pakistani goalkeeper. Captain Saddam came close with  long drive just over the bar.
