A lot of passion in the stands for this match! There were Japanese girls in their national costumes that gives free "fans" to the crowd.

The Welsh team took their mascot with them on the pitch, a wonderful red dragon.

Then the match started and there was only Wales on the pitch. They played very aggressive, a physical football and they scored the first goal on the first minute.

After they went down, Japan missed a clear opportunity but in the next minutes only Wales played a real football.

The first half finished with 4 goals in advantage for the Welsh and the second half was a more terrible nightmare for the proud Japanese.

In the first minute Wales converted a penalty and in the remaining six minutes they scored other 8 goals for a final score of 14-0!!

Wales were very impressive but the Japanese, especially the goalkeeper, helped them a lot.

The very sympathetic Japanese team will have another opportunity tomorrow.
