goal in many matches. However, the Warriors equalised within
eight minutes through Ashrin Shariff after a miskicked clearance
by Japanese defender Haruki Seto.
Four minutes after resumption, Cameroonian Kaze Teffo Giscard
Etienne killed off any hopes of a Warriors' comeback when
he netted the winner.
