Ohshima opened the scoring for Japan, who were already assured of a last eight meet- ing with Iran on Friday following earlier wins over North Korea and Thailand, with a superb solo eff ort midway through the fi rst half before Ideguchi increased the lead at the start of the second half. And despite Abdullah Madu’s penalty reduc- ing the defi cit just before the hour mark, North Korea’s 2-2 draw with Thailand meant North Korea claimed second place in Group B ahead of Saudi Arabia having scored one more goal after all three sides fi nished level on two points behind Japan. North Korea will now lock horns with Qatar in the quarter-fi nals, the buoyant hosts having cruised into the last eight stage af- ter winning all their Group A matches. “We played our game and also we had already qualifi ed for the fi nal stages, but we wanted to continue to win and continue to keep a clean- sheet without conceding goals. So in terms of winning we achieved this goal, so from this point it is good, but unfortunately we conceded one goal. But we are in a good mood in order to go to the fi nal stage,” said Japan coach Makoto Teguramori. “Before the game with Iran we need to fi rst make sure all the players are ready so I can choose any of the players, and we will also have to analyse Iran to see how they play and their style and their way of playing.” With a last eight meeting with Iran already secured as Group B winners, Japan coach Te- guramori made 10 changes to his side following Saturday’s 4-0 win over Thailand, while oppo- site number Adrie Koster brought in midfi elder Abdulfattah Asiri and striker Abdulrahman al- Ghamdi knowing a win would secure qualifi ca- tion.

After the completion of Monday’s final Group A games, 43,139 spectators have attended the 18 matches played thus far, a landmark statistic which easily outstrips the previous total of 34,712. “We strive in every competition to improve on the last edition,” said AFC Tournament Director Shin Man Gil, “Again, just like in the Asian Cup in 2015, the AFC U23 Championship has recorded attendance figures that have built on the previous corre- sponding event. I am delighted to see that the organisation in Qatar for the U23 Championship has also achieved the world class standards to which we aspire in all our tournaments.” Host nation Qatar, who are through to the quarter-finals, have attracted the highest attend- ances, with their clash against Iran topping the lot thanks to the 11,026 attendance figure recorded at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha.

Cheveley Park Stud’s Zonderland came second ahead of Qatar Racing’s Arod. “That’s a massively relief, honestly,” said Simcock. “We’ve always thought the world of him and he was brilliantly nurtured by Olly Stevens.
