Japan Women

Match report

Japan women beat Chinese Taipei 4-0 in the third group game of the Asian Games on 21 September 2026. Both sides came into the match unbeaten from two matches with six points each. The hosts took control early and never really looked threatened after that.

And here's the thing — the opening goal came from a penalty at the six-minute mark, scored by S. Takarada. There was another goal just a minute later, though the provider didn't attribute it to a specific player. C. Kamiya added a third at 19 minutes, and Huang Ke-Sin picked up a yellow card for Chinese Taipei at 41.

The second half saw a flurry of changes from both managers. Chinese Taipei brought on T. Chuan, M. Tanaka and Chen Yu-Chin at 46 minutes. Japan responded at 48 with Y. Nakashima and Y. Narumiya coming on, and then removed C. Kamiya and S. Takarada at 49 — by then the result was already comfortable.

M. Ueno put Japan 4-0 up at 51 minutes, and N. Ikuta was still on the pitch when the final whistle came. Chen Jin-Wen received a yellow card for Chinese Taipei at 56, and there were further substitutions at 65 and 70 minutes from both sides.

With the win, Japan move top of the group with two victories from two games. Chinese Taipei remain on six points too but sit second on goal difference. To be fair, the hosts had already shown this level against Vietnam and Thailand with 8-0 wins, so the margin of victory wasn't entirely surprising.
