In the end, the national eleven did not do better than during its previous debacle against South Korea (4 – 0), bowing in front of Japan by 2 to 0. The goals were scored by Kyogo Furuhashi in 43 ‘and Junya Ito in the 69’.
Without real reaction of clean love, the protégés of Jalel Kadri did not make the weight in the face of twirling Japanese and battlers. The tactical choices have not been up to these two opponents of value, the service of the national eleven demonstrated the limits of this set at the dawn of an important continental deadline.
And it seems that in light of the two meetings, a lot of way remains to be done before the start of the African Cup of Nations which will take place in the Ivory Coast next January.
