Successful international period

VfB defender Hiroki Ito played the whole 90 minutes as Japan cruised to a comfortable 5-0 win in Myanmar on Thursday. With five wins from five, the Samurai Blue are already guaranteed a place in the next stage of qualifying as Group B winners.

In Afcon qualifying, Serhou Guirassy helped Guinea to a crucial 2-1 win in Algeria. The VfB striker, who was replaced in second-half stoppage time, will hope to pick up another three points when his side face Mozambique in Morocco at 21:00 CEST on Monday.
