In Japan, the women's game goes from strength to strength

semi-finals of the AFC Women's Asian Cup currently taking place in Vietnam, that is something that
Japan are hoping to change.
Coach Norio Sasaki's side could hardly have booked their semi-final place in more dramatic
circumstances, needing to beat Australia by two clear goals in their final group game at Thong Nat
Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City on June 2.
