Japan up 1–0. Missed the goal cause I was in the shower. Scored by Riko Ueki, a striker for West Ham (Katrina Gorry’s team).

Who is now leading the Golden Boot with 6 goals

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Wow, another goal. Maika Hamano from Spurs (on loan from Chelsea)!

Japan now leading South Korea 2-0 in their Women's Asian Cup semi-final after Maika Hamano scored in the 25th minute.

Almost a third but looks like it’ll be ruled out.

 

[Hillbilly55]

The second goal was scored by the 13th player for Japan that has scored in this tournament. That statistic is wild!!!

Coulda been 4–0. We’re gonna be parking a huge bus.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Good save to deny Japan.

Saki Kumagai makes it three! What is going on with Korea’s defence?!

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Kang Chae-rim pulls one back. Hopefully Korea score again to make me a bit less nervous about Japan’s attack lol.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Remina Chiba makes it four for Japan. Crazy game!

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Fun fact: all four goalscorers for Japan so far are teammates of members of the Matildas squad.

 

[HonestSpursFan]

Korea have been very poor tonight. We won’t be this bad but we need to be absolutely locked in. We can still win it if we’re smart.

Japan aren't in the final yet.

You were saying?

japan are effing good, no doubt… but honestly thought south korea would’ve put up more of a fight than that

Yeah you’d think the final would be a lot closer. Probably 1–0 or 2–1 either way (hopefully ours). I’m nervous but I know we’re determined to lift that trophy.

Do you watch women’s football? This is a loss that will be remembered for years. Obviously Japan were the favourites but for them to win 4–1 is pretty wild.

Tillies will have to play out of their skins. At least the passing and movement was a bit better against China and the goals were well-taken.
