Japanese players who missed the championship right before their eyes are angry.

The South Korean women's soccer team, led by head coach Shin Sang-woo, won 2-0 in the final match of the 2025 East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup) against Taiwan at 7:30 p.m. on the 16th at Suwon World Cup Stadium. It is the first time in 20 years that the women's soccer team has won the East Asian Cup.

The draw between Japan and China was behind Korea's victory like this. If the match was decided between Japan and China, which competed before the match between Korea and Taiwan, Korea would not have won. Both Japan and China had to cross each other to win the championship, resulting in a scoreless draw.




If Korea wins against Taiwan, Korea, Japan and China are tied with five points. The East Asian Cup is ranked in the order of opponent's record, goal difference, and multiple points when points are tied. South Korea, Japan, and China could not determine the ranking in terms of opponent's record and goal difference because they could not compete in the three games they faced each other. In terms of multiple goals, South Korea had the most goals with three, followed by China (2 goals) and Japan (1 goal). Therefore, the championship trophy was awarded to Korea.

Japan's captain, Takahashi Hana, expressed his anger after the game. This is because if Japan had only taken one decisive opportunity in the match against China, there would have been no situation where the trophy would have been handed over to Korea. Japan faced even more disappointing results as it sought its third consecutive victory in the tournament.

She said "Everyone understood the rules of the tournament and played, and fought for victory as a team. It's such a shame that we didn't get a win in the process. I felt that it would be difficult to win the world stage or take responsibility for the front line of Japanese women's soccer if I did not complete the one-time opportunity. I'm really angry that I'm not good enough,' he said, blaming himself.

Then "There was a scene where I was pushed by the Chinese atmosphere, and I felt that there were still many shortcomings in the physical part. I want to take these things to my team and supplement them through training"He expressed his desire to develop further.




As a captain "There were some players who were selected for the first time in this tournament, and I think it was a really good experience for each of the players who played in the league to experience this international stage and Asian tournaments. I want to take this experience to my team and make the whole league stronger"I expect all my colleagues to show further progress," he said, sending a message.

Japan's women's soccer team is considered the best in Asia along with North Korea. It can be said that he lost a lot of pride because he finished third in the East Asian Cup as a result.
