AFC Women's Asian Cup Final: Japan Beat Australia By 1-0 To Win Their Third Title
Asian Cup Final: Japan continued their dream run in the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026 as they beat the hosts Australia by 1-0 in the final played at Stadium Australia on Saturday. With this win, they have lifted the title for the third time in the history of the tournament.
While Maika Hamano’s first-half goal in the 17th minute was what ultimately made the difference on the scoreboard, it was a strong and disciplined defensive performance from the goalkeeper Yamashita that was crucial for the win.
The hosts, Australia, were off to a great start in the final in front of a record-breaking crowd of 74,397, most of whom were cheering for the Maltidas to clinch the title.
