Japan allowed the first goal, signaling a red flag to advance to the Asian Cup final.

Japan's U-20 soccer team, led by coach Yuzo Funakoshi, is leading 0-1 in the semi-final match of the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup against Australia at Baoan Stadium in Shenzhen, China, on the 26th (Korea time), losing a point to Moussa Toure in the fourth minute of the second half.

Japan showed strong confidence even before the game. In an interview after reaching the semifinals, Yuzo said, "I'm happy and relieved to have made it to the World Cup. But I have a stronger desire to win than that."

Japan, which advanced to the semifinals after beating Iran after a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals, formed a starting lineup that considered physical problems, replacing nine of the quarterfinals' starting members except Ishii Hisatsugu and Inoue Aren.

Japan, which finished 0-0 in the first half after a heated defense and offensive, gave Australia the lead after the start of the second half, and Toure scored Japan's net with a clean shot in front of the gate.
