They got a breakthrough when striker Iwabuchi controlled a poor headed clearance from Scotland captain Rachel Corsie…

Japan beat El Salvador thanks to two goals from Kensuke Nagai.
Kensuke Nagai scored his first goals for Japan with a brace in a 2-0 win over El Salvador in Miyagi on Sunday.
The 30-year-old, who has had a less than prolific career in the J.League, was called up for only his seventh cap by coach Hajime Moriyasu following an impressive run with table-topping FC Tokyo.
Nagai took both his goals with aplomb; scoring the first by cutting inside to send two El Salvador players sliding on the wet turf before a neat finish and then sweeping home Genki Haraguchi’s cross…

– When does the Copa America take place?
Shoya Nakajima looked the most likely to break the deadlock for the hosts,…

Falcao’s 33rd goal for his country came after a penalty was awarded for a handball by Japan’s Takehiro Tomiyasu in the 64th minute in Yokohama.
