During the 120 minutes of play, Japan U19 controlled the game and continuously pressured the Saudi Arabia players. However, the team from the land of the rising sun appeared to be stuck in front of the tight and powerful defense of Saudi Arabia.
On the contrary, if the West Asian players had finished well and made the most of the opportunities they had, they would have made Japan pay the price. The most notable of these were the two opportunities created by Abdulrahman Alyami and Rakan Alanaze.
The match was inconclusive after 120 minutes of regular time and extra time, so the winner had to be decided by penalty kicks.
In this nerve-wracking penalty shootout, Japan U19 won with a score of 5-3. Striker Abdullah Magrshi was the player from Saudi Arabia who kicked straight into the sky in the 4th penalty shootout.
This is the first time in history that Japan U19 has won the Asian U19 Championship after 36 times participating and reaching the final 7 times. A completely deserved championship when they did not concede a single goal during the entire tournament./.
