Japan's perfect set-piece tactics

Senegal had a free-kick in a dangerous position but Japan pulled off one of the best offside traps you will ever see.

Six players were caught offside - and Japan even had two players running back towards goal to cover any possible mistakes.

You can only imagine how many times Japan practiced this on the training ground.

It was executed to absolute perfection.

In the build-up, Japan's manager Akira Nishino had hinted that his team would use original ways to physically compete with Senegal.

"I've been telling (Takashi) Inui and (Ryota) Oshima they need to put on five kilograms and grow five centimeters, but that plan has failed and we just have to figure out something else," he said, as per Mainichi.

"But there are lots of ideas we can look at. We will be at a disadvantage if it turns into a physical contest so we will be looking to make use of our speed and ball movement."

Japan have started the 2018 World Cup positively and could face England or Belgium if they progress to the knockout stages.

The Samurai Blue face Poland in their final group game on Thursday afternoon.

It's all very tight in Group H.
