43' Dennerby is using 5-3-2 formation to deal with the waves of attack with the three midfielders playing narrow while the backline is stretched with five at the back but that hasn't stopped Japan from sending in crosses but that extra defender has helped them clear the crosses inside the box. The two forwards are isolated figure and have nothing to show for yet
India 0-1 Japan
39' The backline of India is constantly under pressure as Japan continue to send in one cross after another but the Indian defense now looks in better shape to stop the Japanese forwards to capitalise. As far as the Indian attack is concerned, no move lasts more than two passes as the Japanese quickly press to win the ball back!
India 0-1 Japan
37' All of the Indian players are mostly playing in their own half in fact close to the box but Japan are still easily finding space on the flanks and using it to pepper crosses into the box! The recent cross from the right leads to a cleareance out for a corner by Dalima Chhiber

The Indian women's football team will start their campaign in round 2 of the AFC Women's Olympic Qualifiers as they take on former World Champions Japan in their opening match at the Lokomotiv Stadium in Tashkent.
India are the massive underdogs in their group, which also consists of higher-ranked opponents Vietnam and Uzbekistan. While international game time has often been a concern for the Indian women's football team, they come into the Qualifiers playing Asian Games in China last month.
The Thomas Dennerby-led side finished last in the Asian Games after losing both their matches to higher-ranked Chinese Taipei and Thailand, casting a shadow on India's chances of advancing to the next round. However, Dernnerby is confident that rankings are just on paper and they will go into the game with the self-belief that they can upset any team on their day.
However, Japan are a different beast all together as they just won the Asian Games gold medallist after the disappointment of elimination in the first knockout rounds to Sweden. They, however, famously trounced World Champions Spain 4-0 in the group stages and also demolished Argentina 8-0.
India certainly will be punching above their weight if they wish to trouble the Japanese even for a bit in the game. The national side, led by skipper Ashalata Devi, has a good mix of youth and experience with the likes of Bala Devi, Astam Oraon, Hemam Silky Devi among others. The skipper also stressed before the game that they are not reading too much into Japan's stature and will focus on themselves.
India vs Japan women's football match will start at 3:30 PM IST.
