[Special Correspondent Gong Naijie/Reporting from Tokyo, Japan] The Australian team in the AFC Champions League was reversed 6:4 by the Taiwanese team yesterday. Head coach Nelson described this defeat as "the most disappointing battle in international competitions in recent years." Unexpectedly, facing the "late afternoon" Japanese team today, it turned into a deflated ball. The Japanese team actually scored 11 points in the first game. The deduction condition has been reached by more than 10 points in seven games.
The Japanese team went on a rampage for more than one run in the first inning. They made four bad mistakes and hit consecutive hits from the Australian team, including Soyama Raito's grand slam. They were caught out for the first time only after the 13th man in the attack. It was even rarer for the Japanese team to replace a runner in the first inning. In the end, they scored 11 points in a single inning, allowing the Australian team to burn three pitchers.
The Australian team started high and then went low. In the opening game, they surprisingly defeated the South Korean team and won their first victory in team history. Yesterday, they suffered a big setback by the Taiwan team. They led from 4:2 to losing 4:6 in the end. Nelson looked heavy and disappointed. The players could not get rid of yesterday's nightmare battle. Today, they were severely attacked by the Japanese team in the first game.
