As Group B at the AFC Women’s Asian Cup began play on SAT 07 APR 2018, Japan’s class was on display.

• Japan 04-00 Vietnam: Kumi YOKOYAMA opened the scoring just three minutes in, and the Nadeshiko came away with the convincing victory.
• Australia 00-00 Korea Rep: In a defensive clinic, Korea Rep kept the favoured Matildas off the scoresheet and earned a valuable draw in Group B. Both teams will be desperate for a victory on Tuesday, with Korea Rep facing Japan and Australia meeting Vietnam.
