Today, the Serbian national football team lost to the Japanese team 1: 0 (0: 0) in a friendly match at the Kirin Cup in Kobe.
Dragan Stojković’s team had several chances in the first 45 minutes, which they did not manage to use, and already at the start of the second half, Japan took the lead.
In the 48th minute, Ito shook the net of Serbia, and in the 63rd minute, the same player found Ada Onaivu on the second post, who scored a goal, but he was annulled due to offside.
Japan had a chance in the continuation of the match, but Rajković managed to stop Takuma Asana’s attempts.
This is the first defeat of Serbia since Stojković became the coach, and the combined team on the tour in Japan, previously played a draw with Jamaica (1: 1).
