The Asian Games football match between Japan U23 and Myanmar U23 on 28 September 2023 ended in a wide-margin victory for the home team, with a scoreline of 7-0 showing the indisputable dominance displayed by Japan U23 throughout the game.

Japan U23's effectiveness in the final third was clear, with 12 shots on target out of 16 - a 75% accuracy rate which emphasizes their clinical attacking performance. Coupled with the seven goals they scored, their potent strike force was a key factor in their commanding win. Their efficiency in front of the goal area contrasted with Myanmar U23's performance, who had a mere three shots on target, out of 10 shots overall.

Japan U23 also managed to utilize their set-pieces effectively, taking a total of seven corner kicks, with Myanmar U23 only managing two in comparison. This suggests that Japan U23 were not only superior in open play but also dominant in set-piece situations, amplifying their threat to the Myanmar U23 defence.

Despite the high-scoring result, Japan U23 was not without their defensive capabilities. Their goalkeeper managed to make three saves, illustrating their level of vigilance at the goal post. Although Myanmar’s goalkeeper made 5 saves, he was heavily peppered with more directed shots, affecting their overall standing in the match.

In terms of discipline, both teams managed to maintain a clean sheet with no red or yellow cards being issued. There were however nine fouls from Myanmar U23 compared to seven from the home side, indicating a slightly more aggressive approach from the visitors in an attempt to disrupt Japan’s rhythm.

The two substitutions made by Japan U23 suggests that they managed the game well, making tactical changes when necessary to maintain pressure and control. On the other hand, Myanmar U23 had to make all three substitutions, perhaps indicative of either injury concerns or a lack of desired performance from their initial squad.

With four offsides, Japan U23 were more proactive in their attacking approach, pushing their play further into Myanmar's half, while the Myanmar U23 team was flagged offside only once, perhaps showing their reluctance to venture too far forward.

In summary, Japan’s U23 victory was underpinned by a high shots-on-target rate, effective use of set-pieces, and overall dominance in both attacking and defensive regions of the play. Myanmar’s U23 side just did not manage to establish their presence in any form, which was inherently visible in their lack of shots on target and corner kicks, both of which are crucial aspects of aggressive gameplay.
