Moments ago, Japanese ladies expressed their arrival at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup by getting a huge 5-0 win over Zambia.

Tanaka scored the first goal for the Japanese after the Asian team wasted various chances for scoring. 

Japan firmly controlled the game, and their control was enhanced after Hinata Miyazawa sent them ahead by three goals before Jun Endo added the fourth.

During the final minutes of the match, Catherine Musonda came storming off her line and clashed with Riko Ueki which cost her a yellow, then a red card.

Also, the Asian team earned a penalty due to the clash.

Eunice Sakala replaced Musonda, and she saved the penalty, before the VAR check.

The VAR check declared that the penalty should be retaken, and Japan managed to score the fifth by Ueki.
