GOAL! Bahrain scores? Well, not quite...
We all know Bahrainese strikers have more decisive skills to shove the ball into the goal mouth. But this time they did it to the wrong goal! The Japanese team did have chances to do it themselves, but they always end up short in the final efforts of the attack.
It was a barely won victory as the final score was 1 to zip with this own goal by Bahrain's best player as the only score.
Japan has risen to the second spot among the four teams, just a point behind Iran and two points ahead of Bahrain. North Korea lost again today at home, letting Iran pick up another three points.
So the first half of the preliminaries to the World Cup is over. How did Japan do? We're in second, not bad right? WRONG.
We played two games at home and both were won with difficulties. The next game will be set for June, and the first will be played in Bahrain. Can you imagine how hot it would be there?
And in today's North Korea - Iran match the North Korean crowd almost turned into rioters as they were not satisfied by the judges made by the refs. Their last match at home is against Japan and the desperate North Koreans will play their guts out to win... And the last game of the preliminary is against the undefeated Iranians.
What a tough series the second half will be! Can't wait till June for the excitement!!
