00:00And they get off to a great start, an early corner, and it's brilliantly headed home there by Endo, the captain.
00:08Completely unmarked, it's terrible defending from China, but a wonderful start for Japan.
00:19Into the 33rd minute, with Japan having 72% of the possession, as there's more smart play from them here.
00:26Can they force a ball over the line? Not quite, but it will go to a VAR decision.
00:33We can see here it was disallowed for a handball there against Morita.
00:41Now into stoppage time, as Dornier hits a peach of a cross from him, and that's finally 2-0 to Japan.
00:50It's Mitoma, the returning right-hand winger, after a predominant 45 minutes.
00:58Japan winning the ball time and time again in midfield, as Minamino here sets off on a little run, and curls home superbly for 3-0.
01:09The assist there from Mitoma, and no chance for Wangdale in goal. It's a fine finish.
01:17A really fluid Japan performance here. The 1-2, as Minamino is in again, and he slots home his second with the assist.
01:28The Chinese goalkeeper had no chance once again.
01:33China have been overrun, even though Japan have taken their foot off the gas.
01:38The 77th minute, the sub Ito here, he takes on the shot of the defender, and that's 5-0.
01:48It's another terrible goal to concede for China.
01:53And maybe the misery not yet over for the Chinese, as the next cross comes in, and it's headed home there by Maeda.
02:02Two subs combining, Ito with the cross, Maeda with the finish, and that's 6-0.
02:0995th minute, and there's still time here for Kubo to powerfully rifle home Japan's seventh in stoppage time.
