Japan Thrashes China 7-0 in World Cup Qualifier Opener

Japan Thrashes China 7-0 in World Cup Qualifier Opener

By September 5, 2024 0

Japan’s national football team, the Samurai Blue, made a resounding statement in the third round of Asian World Cup qualifiers, thrashing China 7-0 in Saitama on Thursday (September 5, 2024).

Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma, returning from injury, marked his comeback with a first-half header, while Liverpool’s Wataru Endo opened the scoring with a set-piece goal. Takumi Minamino added two more goals after the break, putting Japan in complete control against a Chinese side desperate to qualify for their first World Cup since 2002.

Junya Ito, also making his first appearance for Japan since the Asian Cup, extended the lead before late goals from Daizen Maeda and Takefusa Kubo capped a dominant performance from Hajime Moriyasu’s side.

Despite the one-sided scoreline, Endo emphasized that the victory was not easy. “We came onto the pitch with positive energy,” he said. “We got the first goal from a set piece and then we played our own football and the goals kept coming. We got the three points and it was a great game.”

China, who qualified for the third qualifying round thanks to a superior head-to-head record over Thailand, had a night to forget. “Japan are very strong. They are the top team in Asia and it’s not just Asia — they are a world-class team,” said China’s Croatian coach Branko Ivankovic.

Japan and China have been drawn together in a tricky-looking Group C, which also includes Australia, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Indonesia. The top two teams in the group will qualify for the World Cup, while the third and fourth-placed sides will enter a further round of qualifying.

Japan’s next match is an away fixture against Bahrain on Tuesday (September 3, 2024), while China will host Saudi Arabia on the same day.

Netherlands Complete Historic Hockey Double with Women’s Gold

By August 10, 2024 0

The Netherlands etched their name in Olympic history on Friday, becoming the first nation to achieve a remarkable double in hockey. Just 24 hours after their men’s team triumphed over Germany, the Dutch women’s team, the defending champions, secured their fifth Olympic gold medal with a thrilling 3-1 shootout victory over China.

The Dutch women, appearing in their sixth consecutive final, faced a determined Chinese team that held them to a 1-1 draw in regulation time. China’s Chen Yi stunned the Dutch with an early goal in the sixth minute, but the Dutch relentlessly pressured their opponents throughout the match.

With nine minutes remaining, Dutch penalty corner specialist Yibbi Jansen leveled the scores with her ninth goal of the tournament. The match went into a shootout, where Dutch goalkeeper Anne Veenendaal emerged as the hero. She saved the first two Chinese attempts and denied Ma Ning’s shot to spark wild celebrations among the Dutch supporters.

“It was fantastic,” said Dutch coach Paul van Ass. “The Chinese did very well, but we attacked well and eventually got the goal we needed.”

The victory marked the first time a nation had doubled up in Olympic hockey. It also marked China’s second silver medal, following their success at home in Beijing in 2008.

“This is just amazing,” said Chinese coach Alyson Annan, who previously led the Dutch to Olympic success in Tokyo. “We did everything we could, but they were just better in the shootout today.”

The Dutch had dominated the tournament, winning all their pool matches and defeating Great Britain and Argentina in the knockout stages. However, the Chinese proved to be a formidable opponent, defending bravely and limiting the Dutch to just three shots on goal.

Despite the disappointment of falling short of gold, Annan remained optimistic about China’s future. “Gold in LA,” she told reporters. “We have to keep pursuing a higher place on the podium.”

In the bronze medal match, Argentina claimed their third Olympic bronze medal with a 3-1 shootout win over Belgium after their third-place play-off ended in a 2-2 draw.

Lovlina Borgohain's Olympic Boxing Campaign Ends in Quarterfinal Loss

Lovlina Borgohain’s Olympic Boxing Campaign Ends in Quarterfinal Loss

By August 4, 2024 0

India’s boxing campaign at the ongoing Olympics concluded without a medal after Lovlina Borgohain, the reigning world champion in the 75kg category, lost a hard-fought quarterfinal bout to China’s Li Qian on Sunday.

Borgohain, who won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics, went down 1-4 in a messy contest marred by repeated cautions for clinching and holding. The 26-year-old’s defeat marked the end of India’s boxing campaign in the Games, following Nishant Dev’s exit from the men’s 71kg quarterfinals on Saturday night.

The six-strong boxing contingent, comprising four women and two men, had a disappointing outing in Tokyo. Four of the six boxers crashed out in the preliminary stage itself.

The quarterfinal bout between Borgohain and Qian started at a fast pace, but neither boxer was willing to take the initiative. The holding and clinching began early, forcing the referee to intervene repeatedly.

Qian, the 34-year-old Tokyo Games silver medalist, seemed more determined and landed some clean combination punches and a left hook towards the end of the first round. She took a 3-2 lead in the contest.

The second round followed a similar pattern, with Qian being more purposeful in her approach. Borgohain was cautioned twice for excessive holding, and Qian maintained her slender one-point lead.

The holding and clinching continued in the third round, and both boxers appeared drained. However, Qian showed great presence of mind to keep Borgohain at a distance. Borgohain struggled to control the pace of the bout and repeatedly took hits on counter-attacks.

Borgohain had previously faced Qian in the Asian Games final last year, losing 0-5. She later beat Qian in the semifinals of the world championship semifinal in 2023. However, Qian had the upper hand in a pre-Olympic tournament in Czechia in June.

In the final, Zheng faced a determined Vekic, who had enjoyed a resurgence in her career. However, Zheng’s aggressive play and powerful groundstrokes proved too much for the Croatian. She raced to a 3-0 lead in the first set and never looked back, winning 6-2, 6-3.

Zheng’s victory is a significant milestone for Chinese tennis. It follows in the footsteps of Ting Li and Sun Tiantian, who won women’s doubles gold in Athens 20 years ago. Zheng’s triumph is a testament to the growing strength of Chinese tennis and its bright future.

North Korea Wins First-Ever Olympic Diving Medal, China Continues Dominance

By July 31, 2024 0

North Korea has made history by winning its first-ever Olympic diving medal, a silver in the women’s synchronized 10-meter platform event. The victory marks a significant achievement for the nation, which has long been overshadowed by China’s dominance in the sport.

China continued its reign in diving, securing its 50th Olympic gold medal in the discipline. Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan, the reigning Olympic champions, led the competition from the start, amassing a commanding lead after just two dives.

North Korea’s Jin Mi Jo and Mi Rae Kim finished a distant second, but their performance was nonetheless impressive. It was the nation’s second medal of the Paris Games, following a silver in mixed doubles table tennis.

Despite their disappointment at not winning gold, Kim expressed their determination to challenge China in the future. “We really wanted to give gold to our country, but the performance was not done as we expected,” she said. “The next time we do it, we will try hard for the gold.”

Great Britain’s Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Lois Toulson claimed the bronze medal, while Mexico’s Alejandra Orozco and Gabriela Agundez finished fifth. Orozco, a four-time Olympian, plans to retire after the Games.

Ukrainian divers Kseniia Bailo and Sofiia Lyskun competed with heavy hearts, dedicating their performance to those suffering in their war-torn homeland. Despite finishing second-to-last, they received warm cheers from the crowd.

“I’m happy to be in the Olympics because I compete today for my country, for soldiers and for athletes and coaches who died in war,” said Bailo. “I’m really proud of me.”

China’s dominance in diving remains unchallenged, as they continue to sweep the Olympic pool. However, North Korea’s historic silver medal and the resilience of the Ukrainian divers serve as reminders that the sport is about more than just winning.
