    Forward Kiko Seike: Former champions Japan opened their campaign in the AFC Women's Asian Cup with an easy 2-0 win over Chinese Taipei in Western Australia on Wednesday.

    After failing to capitalise on repeated chances to open the scoring in the first hour, Japan got the breakthrough in the 61st minute when midfielder Momoko Tanikawa controlled the ball with her chest in the penalty area before finishing with her right foot.

    Forward Kiko Seike sealed the win for the 2014 and 2018 champion in the 92nd minute when she headed a cross from fellow substitute Remina Chiba into the bottom left corner, reports Xinhua.
