Japan and Puerto Rico completed verified men’s international wins within this reporting window. J.League’s official Japan–Venezuela result record and BBC Sport’s full-time match summary both list Japan’s 2–1 victory in Hiroshima on 28 September. The score was final, not live: Ayase Ueda scored in the 49th minute and converted a 90+6 penalty after Venezuela’s Kevin Kelsy had put the visitors ahead in the 46th. Sky Sports’ full match commentary independently records the same score, venue and scoring sequence.
Kelsy opened the second half, but Ueda equalised three minutes later before adding the late winner. BBC credits Junya Ito with the assist for Japan’s first goal; Sky’s event log records the same 49th-minute equaliser and the 90+6 penalty. The result is reported here as a completed friendly only, without a broader form, ranking or qualification claim.
Later in the window, Puerto Rico defeated Dominica 2–0 in Concacaf Nations League League B Group A at Windsor Park Stadium. Concacaf’s official Matchday 2 record and BBC Sport’s independent match summary show a final 0–2 score: Rodolfo Sulia scored in the fourth minute and Wilfredo Rivera in the 37th. Both sources also list a 0–2 half-time score and no second-half goal, establishing the result as final rather than an in-progress update.
This compact desk round-up records only those two completed results. It does not infer a final tournament placing from either match or treat the wider international schedule as settled. For a separate Football rules explainer, see our guide to how football’s eight-second goalkeeper rule works.
