Returns to bench role
Ito had one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Sweden.
Analysis: Ito was back on the bench for Japan after a start against Tunisia, as the forward came off the bench for 23 minutes. He would see a few touches on the ball, completing four passes while recording one cross. He has now started on the bench in both of their crucial matches thus far, leaving him in more of a depth role this World Cup.
Finds back of net
Ito recorded one goal on two shots (one on target) to go along with seven crosses in Saturday's 4-0 win over Tunisia.
Analysis: Ito was a defining part of Japan's win Saturday, as the forward would lead his team with seven crosses, taking five corners in the process. He would also bag a goal in the 69th minute, scoring from an Ayase Ueda assist. He will look to earn a start in their final group stage match after the solid showing against Tunisia, as he only appeared from the bench in their opener.
