A smash-and-grab goal from Yasuyuki Konno earned Japan a 1-0 victory over France, who endured a demoralising warm-up to their crucial World Cup qualifier against Spain.
While world champions Spain prepared for Tuesday night's showdown with a comfortable 4-0 win over Belarus, Didier Deschamps' men were looking to stretch their legs against a nation they had beaten five times in five meetings.
However, thanks to the heroics of visiting goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima, and the astonishing profligacy of the French forward line, Konno's last-gasp goal on the counter ensured a weekend of soul-searching for Les Bleus.
The dying minute goal is always important expecially when a team is losing.Thank you
This crop of French players are not strong at all.
