DOHA, Qatar - The goalless first half causes the tension mounting among the fans of Australia and Japan who gathered to cheer up for their respective teams at Khalifa Stadium. Both teams missed their chances, including one of the best chance saved by Japan goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima off the Australian striker Harry Kewell.
Keisuke Honda, who had two efforts on Australia's goal earlier, set up Shinji Okazaki, whose shot appeared to graze the elbow of Brett Holman but Japan's calls for a penalty went in vain in the 30th minute of the first half.
Japan is fighting their heart out for the fouth title victory; while Australia is competing first time in the coveted event of Asia.
