“Olympic” pays the price for defensive mistakes against Japan

The Olympic team lost to its Japanese counterpart by three unanswered goals, in the match that brought them together yesterday, at the King Abdullah Sports Hall Stadium in Jeddah, in the second round of the second group of the AFC U-23 Cup finals. The Olympic team has one match remaining in this round against the Syrian team. “White” paid the price for defensive errors, as the Japanese team’s first goal came only five minutes after the start of the match, which confused the Olympic team’s calculations. With this result, the “White” score froze at three points, while the Japanese team, the holder of the last edition’s title, guaranteed qualification to the quarter-finals, raising its score to six points at the top of the second group.
