Honda powers Japan to victory over Oman

KEISUKE Honda inspired Japan to a comfortable 3-0 home victory over Oman yesterday in their opening game of the final round of Asian 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

Honda fired Japan in front after 11 minutes with a superb left-foot volley, wheeling away in delight and kissing his shirt badge after finishing off a slick three-man move. Ryoichi Maeda squeezed home Japan's second in the 51st minute though replays showed he was offside, before Shinji Okazaki made it 3-0 from close range three minutes later. Asian champion Japan faces Jordan on June 8, also in Saitama, before a testing trip to Brisbane to tackle Australia four days later.
