ABU DHABI, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- Werder Bremen forward Yuya Osako scored twice as Japan held on nervously to beat Turkmenistan 3-2 in Group F of 2019 Asian Cup here on Wednesday.

It is Turkmenistan's second Asian Cup appearance but they did not show up like a minnow and earned respect after this thrilling match.

Turkmenistan shocked the four-time champions in the 26th minute when Arslanmurat Amanov scored perhaps the best goal of the tournament so far with a stunning strike from 35 yards out. The underdog should have doubled their lead 10 minutes later after Ahmet Atayev's powerful shot was blocked by Japan's goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda.

Japan, who have lost only one of their last 28 games at the Asian Cup, bounced back after the break. Yuya Osako arrowed a low shot into the net for the equaliser in the 56th minute and then put the Samurai Blue ahead thanks to the confusion in Turkmenistan defence 4 minutes later.

The 20-year-old Ritsu Doan made it 3-1 with a left footed shot to the bottom right corner in the 71st minute. Ahmet Atayev cut the deficit down to 2-3 for Turkmenistan from the penalty spot after Shuichi Gonda fouled Altymyrat Annadurdyyev in the penalty area.

Turkmenistan piled on the pressure but were unable to find a way to level the game as Japan held on to pursue their record-extending fifth time Asian Cup title with a winning start.
