Japan will play the winner of the subsequent Iran-Syria match in the quarterfinals on the 3rd of next month at 8:30 PM Korean time.
Japan, which holds the record for the most championships (4 times), will attempt to win the Asian Cup for the 5th time in total and 13 years after the 2011 tournament.
Bahrain is a team that competed in Group E with Korea and Jordan in the group stage.
We lost 1-3 to Korea.
Bahrain, who broke expectations and advanced to the round of 16 by defeating Jordan in the last game of the group stage, took first place in the group and was eliminated as they were unable to overcome Japan, which was considered the strongest candidate for the championship.
Japan, which had a clear advantage in the middle of the first half, took the lead in the 31st minute with Doan Ritsu's first goal.
When Maikuma Seiya's mid-range shot hit the left post, Doan rushed in and finished with his left foot.
In the 4th minute of the second half, Takefusa Kubo scored an additional goal.
The Bahrain defender cleared the ball to Kubo in front of the goal, and Kubo calmly shot to make it 2-0.
This is Japan's star midfielder Kubo's Asian Cup debut goal.
Japan gave up one point in the 19th minute of the second half due to goalkeeper Zion Suzuki's own goal.
Suzuki hit Bahrain's Sayed Bakker's header and it flew high in front of the goal. Suzuki, who tried to catch it again, and Ueda, who tried to clear it with his head, got tangled up, and the ball headed into the goal.
Ueda, who gave the excuse for an own goal, made up for his mistake by taking responsibility for Japan's key goal in the 27th minute of the second half.
Ueda quickly made his way to the right side of the goal and then shot strongly with his right foot from the square to make it 3-1.
With this goal, Ueda recorded 4 goals in this tournament, surpassing Lee Kang-in (3 goals, Paris Saint-Germain) and moving up to second place in the scoring ranking with Qatar's Akram Afif.
Iraq's Ayman Hussein (6 goals), who was already eliminated in the round of 16, is the leader.
Meanwhile, Kaoru Mitoma, a goal scorer for Brighton in the English Premier League (EPL) who was unable to play due to an injury, entered the Asian Cup for the first time as a substitute in the 23rd minute of the second half.
Junya Ito, who played as Japan's main striker in the group stage but was recently accused of sexual misconduct, was only added to the substitute list.
He started in two of the three group stage games and appeared as a substitute in one. 카지노사이트
