Japan 1-0 Cameroon
Goal ~ Jap: Honda’39
MATCH SUMMARY
# Man of the Match: Daisuke Matsui - In a match of little excitement, Matsui was one of the few players to offer any attacking impetus.
Note: Official MOM - Keisuke Honda (Japan)
# Japan verdict: Japan had two shots on target in the entire game and scored a lucky goal. That said, they still picked up the three points which, with Denmark losing to Netherlands, leaves them second in the group. They must improve on this performance but at least they can look to do that with three points secured.
# Cameroon verdict: If they showed more composure on the ball in the final third they would have got something from this game. Though they had six shots, only one was on target and they wasted several promising positions.
# Could do better: Paul le Guen - In opting to leave Alex Song on the bench and playing Samuel Eto'o in a wide position, the Cameroon coach failed to make the most of his best players. And Cameroon will now have to get something against Netherlands to make it through the group.
# Stat attack: Forty-nine fouls in this match is the highest combined total at this year's World Cup.
