  • Qatar Hold Saudi in Gulf CUP OPENER
    SPORTS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2014 Honda-powered Japan hammer Honduras 6-0 TOYOTA: Talisman Keisuke Honda provided the thrust as Japan overpowered Honduras 6-0 yesterday to relieve some of the pressure on coach Javier Aguirre. Honda scored once, set up three more and was by far Japan’s most dangerous player in a lopsided game between two teams who flopped badly at the World Cup in Brazil earlier this year. “We played a complete game today,” Aguirre told Japan’s TV Asahi. “We’re building for the Asian Cup in January and obviously we will be going there to win it. We showed excellent bal- ance tonight and brought joy to the fans.” Aguirre abandoned the tinkering that contributed to an alarming run of form in the Mexican’s first four matches in charge, naming 10 of Japan’s World Cup squad among his starting eleven in Toyota. And it took the Asian champions just nine minutes to open their account, defender Maya Yoshida stoop- ing to head into an empty net after a wicked corner from dead-ball specialist Yasuhito Endo. Endo, discard- ed by Aguirre since the former Espanyol manager took over from Italian Alberto Zaccheroni following the World Cup, marked his return with a superb goal as he extended his record number of Japan caps to 147. RIYADH: Yemeni footballer Ahmed Al Hifi (right) and Bahrain’s Husain Ali Baba fight for the ball during the 22nd Gulf Cup football match at King Fahad stadium in Riyadh. — AFP Honda had made it 2-0 moments earlier with a cool finish, before neatly teeing up Endo to smash home a right-foot shot from the edge of the box on Qatar hold Saudi the stroke of halftime.
