Kaoru Mitoma's goal secured Japan a second successive 1-0 win in World Cup warm-up friendlies, this time beating England at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday. Thomas Tuchel's side, winless in March after drawing with Uruguay, dominated possession but faltered against Japan's counters, mirroring their narrow loss for Scotland days earlier.
Scotland lost 1-0 to Ivory Coast at Hampden Park, marking their second straight defeat in World Cup preparations. Nicolas Pepe scored the only goal in the 12th minute by reacting quickest to a rebound off the post. The hosts struggled to create clear chances despite some improvement after halftime.
