Liverpool striker Takumi Minamino scored the winning goal as Japan beat Panama in a Friday friendly in Austria.
Minamino started the match up front alongside Villarreal forward Takefusa Kubo but had to wait an hour for his chance to open the scoring from the spot.
The Reds striker ran through on goal midway through the second-half but was felled by goalkeeper Luis Mejia and Minamino dusted himself down to slam home from 12 yards.
Mejia's evening went from bad to worse when the goalkeeper hauled down former Arsenal striker Takuma Asano, who had replaced Minamino in the second period, when charging out of his penalty area.
