Japan 1 Bahrain 0

Japan beat Bahrain 1-0 at home in the final minute of this tightly fought World Cup 2010 qualifying game. The goal was unusual as you can see from the highlights below-it was scored by  Uchida.

Although the heavy rain affected play Japan should have scored more than once but squandered numerous opportunities including a penalty kick.

Japan are first in their group with 13 points, Bahrain  second with 11, Oman 3rd with 8 and Thailand are bottom with only one point..
