Japan is the first team to win a ticket to the 2014 World Cup.

The Japanese team became the first team to qualify for the 2014 World Cup and officially won a ticket to Brazil to attend the biggest football festival on the planet after a dramatic 1-1 draw with Australia.

With home advantage and determination to win the ticket early, the Japanese team played with great determination and pressed Australia right after the opening whistle. However, the excellence of the Australian defense prevented Japan from scoring a goal.

Entering the second half, the Asian champions continued to dominate the game and created many good opportunities, but their top strikers such as Shinji Kagawa and Keisuke Honda could not take advantage of them.

Despite attacking a lot but failing to score, Japan paid the price in the 82nd minute when Australian midfielder Tommy Oar opened the scoring.

It seemed like Japan would have to accept a bitter defeat when, in the 90th minute, Australian midfielder Matt McKay handled the ball in the penalty area. Keisuke Honda did not miss the golden opportunity when he finished neatly to tie the score at 1-1 and bring a valuable point for the "land of cherry blossoms."

With one point in this match, Japan has 14 points after 7 matches in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, 7 points more than the second-placed team with only one match left.

This is also the fifth consecutive time that the "cherry blossom country" team has participated in the biggest football festival on the planet./.
