Japan beat Uruguay 3-1 in the men’s Kirin Challenge Cup at Q&A Stadium Miyagi on 24 September, turning a level match into a final-score win with two stoppage-time goals.

Kuryu Matsuki put Japan ahead in the 11th minute. Uruguay responded before the interval through Maxi Araújo, leaving the match level at half-time.

Japan found the decisive finish late on. Kento Shiogai restored the lead in stoppage time and Ayase Ueda added the third goal shortly afterwards, sealing the 3-1 result. The Japan Football Association and the Uruguayan Football Association both record the fixture as a completed Japan win; BBC Sport and Sky Sports likewise list the match at full time.

The result belongs to the Kirin Challenge Cup rather than the Asian Games programme. For Japan’s other men’s football result already on SportsHub4U, see Japan’s Asian Games Group A win over Thailand.
