Japan began its bid for a first Asian Games men's football gold since 2010 with a 3-1 win over Qatar on Wednesday, Sept. 20, as Syria and Afghanistan pulled out.
Japan's Teppei Yachida celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal during the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games football match between Japan and Qatar at the Xiaoshan Sports Centre Stadium in Hangzhou, China's eastern Zhejiang province, on Wednesday, Sept. 20.
But just as the Qataris threatened to grab a point in the group-round match, defender Taichi Yamasaki popped up to make the game safe for Japan in the closing minutes. On Tuesday, the first day of action, South Korea launched their quest for a third men's football gold in a row with a 9-0 demolition of Kuwait.
