Japan, Sweden, Daizen Maeda and Anthony Elanga.
In the final Group F World Cup match.
Japan drew 1-1 with Sweden in Arlington, sending both teams into the knockout stage. Daizen Maeda gave Japan the lead before Anthony Elanga equalised, leaving Japan second in Group F and Sweden through as a third-placed side.
Japan will now face Brazil in Houston, while Sweden’s draw was enough to extend their campaign. Elanga later admitted he did not realise a point would be sufficient until after the final whistle.
