After missing a scoring chance, Keisuke Honda created another shot a few minutes later.

In the 39th minute, Yasuhito Endo sent in a diagonal cross from the right. Keisuke Honda flicked it with his head in front of goal, sending the ball toward the bottom-right corner.

He had been waiting for an opportunity like this, one that would prove his strength
