Japan 6-0 New Zealand
Japan goals: Oino (2 & 27), Amishiro (13), Ikadai (24), Egawa (27), Miyahara (32)
Player of the Match: Oino
Ryo Egawa and Sara Oino were unplayable as Japan cruised on to three points at the FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup Philippines 2025™. Oino toe-poked home the opener following an excellent Ryo Egawa back-heel, before Anna Amishiro lashed in a loose ball and Risa Ikadai headed Takehiro Suga’s side into complete control. Takehiro Suga, Oino and Yukari Miyahara completed the rout.
New Zealand can accentuate the positives, with Hannah Kraakman proving she can compete on the biggest stage and Danielle Bradley making two fine saves. They will now take on Tanzania on Wednesday, while Japan will play Portugal in one of the standout fixtures of the group stage.
