Japan vs Indonesia LIVE! Asian Cup match stream, latest score and goal updates today

Japan secured safe passage to the Asian Cup round of 16 with a comfortable 3-1 win over Indonesia.

In a winner-takes-all match in Group D, Japan were too strong for Indonesia, and avoided a second upset in five days following their shock 2-1 defeat to group winners Iraq on Friday. Indonesia now face a nervous wait to see whether their three points are enough to see them through as one of the tournament’s four best third-place teams.

Pipped by a point to top spot by Iraq, Japan made the perfect start when former Swansea City man Jordi Amat was penalised for a foul on Feyenoord striker Ayase Ueda. It was Ueda himself who stepped up and slammed the penalty home for an early Japan lead.

He scored early in the second half too, converting at the back post after Ritsu Doan’s square pass across the face of goal. In stoppage time, Ueda was hunting his hat-trick, but centre-back Justin Hubner helped him out by diverting Ueda’s shot into his own net via the crossbar.

The own goal gave Japan a 3-0 lead, but they didn’t keep it for long, with Sandy Walsh converting in stoppage time to give Indonesia a consolation goal and their fans something to cheer about.

Japan finish as comfortable winners, beating Indonesia 3-1 in a result which sees them through to the second round.

Indonesia face a nervous wait to see whether they have a good enough record to reach the second round as one of the best third-place teams. They battled hard here but Japan were just too good.

GOAL! Japan 3-1 Indonesia

13:24 , Dom Smith

Well, as we enter six minutes added on there is a bit of good news for Indonesia, who score a consolation goal through Sandy Walsh. 3-1 now, but this is Japan's victory.

GOAL! Japan 3-0 Indonesia

13:20 , Dom Smith

88' That's that then. Japan tear down the right through Ito.

He cuts the ball back to Ueda, whose shot is heading wide.

But Hubner's deflection takes it in off the crossbar. Indonesia well beaten now. They bring Struick off for Kambuaya.

Japan 2-0 Indonesia

13:17 , Dom Smith

87' Ueda is DESPERATE for his hat-trick.

Cutting in from the left, he fires from range off his right boot. Well wide.

Doan is then replaced in favour of Reims's Junya Ito.

Japan 2-0 Indonesia

13:13 , Dom Smith

83' A substitution for Japan, who call on the services of Watanabe and Sano.

Kubo, who has been excellent, and Arsenal's Tomiyasu are replaced.

Japan 2-0 Indonesia

13:09 , Dom Smith

76' Indonesia beginning to see more of the ball here.

Sulaeman wants a penalty for cutting the ball back onto Machida's arm, but after a check from VAR it clearly shows the handball was committed outside the box. No penalty.

Then Hubner goes into the box for Indonesia for a late tackle.

Japan 2-0 Indonesia

13:05 , Dom Smith

74' It's a real shame for Maulana Vikri, who has been stretchered off after that tackle by Minamino.

Elkan Baggott of Ipswich Town replaces him.

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

13:03 , Dom Smith

71' Minamino, now of Monaco, is shown a booking almost immediately, for a naughty challenge in which he stamps on Maulana Vikri.

It didn't warrant a red, but not a nice one.

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

13:00 , Dom Smith

69' Double change for Japan instead!

Hatate and Nakamura make way for Minamino and Maeda.

Japan 2-0 Indonesia

12:59 , Dom Smith

67' Perhaps time for some more changes for Indonesia soon.

They've made one change already, bringing Sulaeman on for Sayuri.

Meanwhilem, Wataru Endo of Liverpool is booked for a flailing arm into Sulaeman.

Japan 2-0 Indonesia

12:54 , Dom Smith

63' SO CLOSE! Ritsu Doan notices goalkeeper Ernando Ari off his line, and sneakily tries to chip him.

The shot lands just wide, but it's a classy effort.

Indonesia then fashion a chance, with Ferdinan leaning back as he strikes and ballooning over the bar.

Japan 2-0 Indonesia

12:50 , Dom Smith

59' Four-time Asian Cup champions Japan are just so threatening when they nick the ball off their opponents.

Indonesia look shattered.

GOAL! Japan 2-0 Indonesia

12:44 , Dom Smith

Japan double their lead here, and it's a lovely move.

Doan provides an overlap and receives a pass from Maichida.

Doan crosses low and there at the back post to collect his second goal is Ueda.

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

12:36 , Dom Smith

The second half begins in Doha. Japan with a narrow lead.

Elsewhere in Group D...

12:33 , Dom Smith

Iraq — already through after beating both of these teams — are losing 1-0 to 10-man Vietnam, who are already out.

Here, though, it remains the case that whichever side wins between Japan and Indonesia will book their place in the round of 16.

Tajikistan, the UAE, Iraq, Australia, Iran, Syria, Uzbekistan and hosts Qatar have already reached that stage.

Half-time | Japan 1-0 Indonesia

12:20 , Dom Smith

Half-time then, and Indonesia have grown into the match despite enduring the worst possible start when former Swansea City man Jordi Amat felled Ueda in the box.

The striker scored his spot-kick to give the Blue Samurai a precious lead on six minutes.

If they retain their lead, they will be into the Asian Cup second round.

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

12:17 , Dom Smith

Four minutes added on here at the end of this first half.

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

12:13 , Dom Smith

43' Booking for Indonesia's Struick, who bundles Maikuma to the ground.

It's the youngster's second foul in no time.

Incredible!

12:07 , Dom Smith

37' Somehow Japan do not double their lead.

Manager Hajime Moriyasu is left applauding, and no wonder. Maikuma pulls back for Nakamura, who hits the inside of the post and the ball trickles along the goalmouth but doesn't land in!

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

12:04 , Dom Smith

34' Not sure what he was thinking there, but Ferdinan has just taken a shot directly from a corner for Indonesia.

The ball never went onto the pitch and it landed into the side netting. What a waste!

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

11:59 , Dom Smith

28' Indonesia just missing decisiveness in the final third whenever they reach that area of the pitch.

Always one pass off, at the moment. They'll need to get themselves back into this match somehow, but there is plenty of time for that.

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

11:55 , Dom Smith

24' Kubo has been leading Japan's super-high press here, and steals some space for himself in the box before dragging a poor shot wide.

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

11:49 , Dom Smith

18' Indonesia not willing to stray from their way of playing out from the back despite the scoreline and Japan's attacking threat.

Seeing more of the ball recently, the losing side.

Japan 1-0 Indonesia

11:43 , Dom Smith

12' Well Japan have been on the front foot right from the off, and Ueda's early penalty will really settle the nerves here.

GOAL

11:37 , Dom Smith

Stunning penalty from Ueda, who fires into the top-right corner after Amat is booked for his challenge in the box. 1-0 Japan. What a start for them.

PENALTY

11:35 , Dom Smith

Nightmare for Indonesia.

After a long intervention by VAR, the decision is penalty for Amat's tug on Ueda!

KICK OFF

11:31 , Dom Smith

Underway then, in this must-win game for both sides!

So, a win for either team today will see them secure a place in the knockout stage. Could Indonesia do the unthinkable and potentially knock out the tournament favourites?

Here's how Japan look!

Tomiyasu aware of defensive fralities

10:17 , Alex Young

Japan defender Takehiro Tomiyasu says his team's main objective is to keep a clean sheet after conceding two goals in both matches against Vietnam and Iraq, adding that the seniors had to step up and lead.

"We have to learn form mistakes against Iraq," the Arsenal full-back said.

"After the Vietnam match I had the opportunity to give my voice and opinions. It was a positive thing for the team and I take it as a sign that the coach relies on the team. Our captain (Wataru) Endo or even myself have to be leaders on the pitch."

10:13 , Alex Young

Team news is imminent.

Japan looking to get back on track

10:03 , Alex Young

Japan are looking to get their Asian Cup campaign back on track today with both teams on three points each, behind group toppers Iraq who have qualified for the last 16 with six points.

Moriyasu accepted responsibility for the loss against Iraq and said he had sought the opinions of his players and staff to prepare for their final group game.

"I try to listen to my players and staff's opinions as much as possible. I'm not a top-down style manager, I'm open to everyone. I try to synchronise with their thoughts as well," he said.

"But when we make decisions as a team I know I'm the decision maker. But it's not a difficult task for me after listening to their opinions."

Score prediction

09:48 , Alex Young

Japan were stunned by Iraq last time out, and surely will not let that happen again.

Samurai Blue will be determined to make amends, and are capable of putting Vietnam to the sword this morning, but anything less than a fast start could see them wobble.

Japan to win, 2-0.

Indonesia team news

09:31 , Alex Young

Indonesia are sweating over the fitness of Rizky Ridho, who missed the 1-0 win over Vietnam after suffering a knock against Iraq. Wolves youngster Justin Hubner or Sandy Walsh should start in his place.

Jordi Amat is another doubt in defence, with Wahyu Prasetyo or Egy Maulana primed to jump in.

Captain Asnawi Mangkualam shook off an injury to score from the penalty spot last week, and will continue in the middle again. Witan Sulaeman is the danger man out wide with nine goals from 40 caps at the age of just 22.

Japan team news

09:20 , Alex Young

Japan are expected to still be without star man Karou Mitoma, who is yet to feature at the tournament due to injury.

In his absence, former Liverpool man Takumi Minamino should start on the wing and Takefusa Kubo will support striker Ayase Ueda in the No10 role.

Wataru Endo has two goal involvements in as many games at the tournament and will start again today.
