(Video): Watch Takumi Min amino scintillating goal for Japan against Saudi Arabia in the World Cup qualifier
Liverpool striker Takumi Minamino helped Japan move to within just one win of securing their place at the 2022 World Cup.
He opened the scoring in Japan’s crucial 2-0 win against Saudi Arabia.
Minamino was withdrawn by manager Hajime Moriyasu with 77 minutes on the clock.
The victory moves Japan to within one point of Saudi Arabia at the top with just two qualifying games remaining, the next of which they can decide their fate.
The top two in the group progress and the fixture against Australia on March 24 is the next hurdle to clear, with a victory for Japan to guarantee at least second place and a spot in Qatar.
