Fujino and Hasegawa's Japan edge past Canada | OneFootball

Aoba Fujino and Yui Hasegawa helped Japan beat Canada 1-0 in an international friendly.

The City duo both started in Nagasaki, with Ayaka Yamashita and Canada defender Jade Rose both unused substitutes in the second of two international friendlies between the sides.

Japan had cruised to a 3-0 win in the previous meeting, in which Fujino rounded off the scoring, but the latest showdown was a much tighter affair.

Mina Tanaka grabbed the game’s only goal on the stroke of half-time, with Hasegawa replaced at the break by Bayern Munich’s Momoko Tanikawa.

Fujino featured for 79 minutes, with West Ham’s Riko Ueki coming on for the City winger as Japan saw out the victory.
