The Japanese team successfully "released" and assisted Australia to enter the World Cup. If they lose, they will be eliminated.

A focus battle in the Asian top 18 match ended not long ago. With the Japanese team openly "released", the Australian team also seized the opportunity. They defeated their opponents 1-0 and got another ticket to the World Cup in this group.

Because the Japanese team has already advanced, coach Mori Boichi chose to let most of the main players take a rest. Many core players such as Kaoru Misato, Hidemasato Morida, Junya Ito, Ariki Dora, and Guano Itakura all lost the list of the Japanese team in the latest period. On the contrary, many young players who played in the local league were called up by the national team for the first time.

In the away game against the Australian team, Mori Boichi even made the "water release" to the extreme. With not many core players selected, he also put all the few main players on the bench. Among the eleven starting players, Yuki Ohashi, Weito Suzuki, Yuuhi Hirakawa, Daiki Seki, Akita Kazuda even represented the Japanese adult national team for the first time. It is no exaggeration to say that this is Japan's "three teams".

Although they were all substitutes, the Japanese team still firmly controlled the initiative on the field. The Australian team, who played at home, could only retreat and launched a defensive counterattack. Most of the game, both teams spent the stalemate, so everyone was a little drowsy. Just when fans thought the game would end with a 0-0 draw, the situation on the court suddenly changed. In the 90th minute, the attacker McGrie, who came on as a substitute, received a pass from his teammate and turned around and rushed in. After dribbing the ball to the bottom line, he chose to cross the triangle. Biyich, who was in the middle, turned around and shot to score, helping the Australian team complete the final kill at the last moment, giving the Japanese team its first defeat in the quarterfinals of this year, and took away 3 points in a surprise! After winning this game, the Australian team's points have risen to 16 points. Since they have led Saudi Arabia with 10 goals, the Australian team has actually locked in the second place in this group. They will also go directly to the 2026 US, Canada and Mexico World Cup. In the last round of the game, the Japanese team will return to home court and face the Indonesian team. If they continue to "relax" this game and deliberately lose to the Indonesian team, even if the Chinese team miraculously wins two consecutive victories, the only thing waiting for us is to "go home".
