The Japanese national soccer team, led by coach Hajime Moriyasu, will play the final match of the 2025 EAFF E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup) against South Korea at 7:24 p.m. on the 15th at Yongin Mir Stadium in Gyeonggi Province.
It's a game of fate. South Korea beat China (3-0) and Hong Kong (2-0) for the second straight win. Japan also defeated Hong Kong (6:1) and China (2:0) in a row. However, Japan (+7) is superior to Korea (+5) in goal difference.
Japan will use the 3-4-2-1 formation again this time. Kakita Yuki will be at the front line. Daisei Miyashiro and Germain Ryo will appear on both wings. Soma Yuki, Hayao Kawabe, Inagaki Sho, and Henry Mochizuki are located at the waist. Defending is Dai Koga, Hayato Araki, and Ando Tomoya are located. Keisuke Osako protects the goal.
Compared to the previous match against China, he changed 10 digits. Only Henry Mochizuki, who started against China and scored a goal, kept his starting position for the second consecutive time. Japan is expected to be aggressive by starting three of the five players who scored in this tournament. Jermaine, a mixed-race player who scored four goals alone against Hong Kong, will also start.
Japan is trying to win its second consecutive title following the previous tournament held in Japan in 2022. Earlier, Moriyasu said, `I will fight for the championship. "We are preparing for this tournament by thinking about the part that allows the players to continue to grow in the national team by linking their performance and experience to 'level up.'"
