In their last match before the World Cup 2010 England team won Japan with result 2-1.However, it is interesting that the English team did not achieve any goal. In fact, all three goals were scored by the players of Japan, but unfortunately for them, two goals were own goals.
Japan took the lead very early, in the 7th minute of the match and the scorer was Marcus Tanaka. This was followed by long period without any goals.
But in the 73rd minute Marcus Tanaka scored again, but this time to his own team. The last goal for the final victory of the England, Japan’s second own goal, has scored Yuji Nakazawa in the 83 minute of the game.
Mention that the English had one penalty kick, performed by Frank Lampard, but the Japanese goalkeeper was successfully saved this shoot.
