Taki Minamino got Japan off the mark in their World Cup qualifier meeting with Saudi Arabia, netting the opening goal in the first-half.
An element of fortune was on the Liverpool attacker’s side as he capped off a great team move with an effort that took a deflection from Mohammed Al-Owais and into the net.
A win here for Hajime Moriyasu’s men would see them close the gap to their opponents at the top of their group to a point.
