Real Madrid winger Takefusa Kubo was on target again as hosts Japan eliminated France from the Tokyo Olympics men s football tournament with a 4-0 win on Wednesday.
Kubo netted in Japan s first two Group A games and gave Madrid another reminder of his quality by opening the scoring against France in Yokohama.
In doing so, the 20-year-old became the first Japanese player to score in each group-stage match at the same Olympic tournament.
Hiroki Sakai doubled Japan s lead prior to half-time before Koji Miyoshi and Daizen Maeda completed the rout, either side of Randal Kolo Muani being sent off.
