Women’s Asian Cup: Japan Thrash South Korea 4-1 To Set Up Final Clash With Australia
Substitute Remina Chiba: Japan delivered a commanding display to defeat South Korea 4-1 in the semifinal of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026 played at Stadium Australia in Sydney on Wednesday, booking their place in the title clash against hosts Australia.
Coached by Nils Nielsen, Japan were in control for most of the contest, scoring twice in each half to register a convincing win and reach their seventh final. The upcoming summit clash will be a repeat of the 2014 and 2018 finals, both of which Japan had won.
South Korea, under Shin Sang-woo, made multiple changes to their starting lineup following their quarter-final win over Uzbekistan, while Japan restored several key players, including goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita, defender Saki Kumagai, and leading scorer Riko Ueki.
