In addition to Kubo, Japan's other key players like Kenta Kobayashi and Kazuto Kato were also instrumental in scoring the goals for the team. Kobayashi scored the opening goal in the first half while Kato scored the second goal in the second half.
Overall, the Asian Cup qualifiers for Japan were a success for the team and they showed their talent and skills on the pitch. With the win over China, Japan has now qualified for the final round of the tournament, which will be held in Qatar next month.
