Japan, however, suffered a 3-1 defeat to Belarus in Group C action.
\nMexico 2-5 Oman
\nNeeding three points after their defeat to Brazil, Oman eventually shrugged off the nagging attentions of a Mexico side which refused to give up to win their first match at UAE 2024 Dubai.<\/p>\n
Despite falling behind inside 17 seconds to a Yahya Al Muraiki strike, Mexico turned the game around and took the lead through a superb Diego Martinez volley.<\/p>\n
The Omanis recovered, though, to score four unanswered goals through Yaqdhan Al Hindasi, Mandhar Al Araimi, Al Muraiki and Khalid Al Oraimi to earn three valuable points.<\/p>\n
Oman play Portugal on Tuesday where a win should take them into the knockout stage for the first time. <\/p>\n
Japan 1-3 Belarus
\nGoalkeeper Mikhail Avgustov proved to be a stumbling block to Japan in their 3-1 defeat to Belarus in Group C.
\nThe goalkeeper saved a penalty, made another breathtaking save and scored as Japan, the 2021 runners-up, suffered a setback after having opened their campaign with a 3-2 win over Colombia on Friday. <\/p>\n
An Ivan Kanstantsinau own-goal put Japan ahead, but Ihar Bryshtsel equalised with a brilliant bicycle kick. Takuya Akaguma then craftily won a penalty, only for Avgustov to repel it.<\/p>\n
The Belarus goalkeeper then slammed home a sumptuous volley to put the Europeans in front. Then, when Yusuke Kuwai spilled Avgustov\u2019s shot, Artsemi Drozd was on hand to stab it home.<\/p>\n
Japan have to defeat Senegal on Tuesday to stand a chance of advancing to the knockout stage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
