PUNE: Powerhouse Japan showcased their overwhelming technical superiority as they secured an easy 5-0 win over Myanmar to begin their AFC Women's Asian Cup title defence in style here on Friday.
Japan had to wait till the 22nd minute to take the lead but once they did that there was no stopping the two-time defending champions, who toyed with their opponents in a lop-sided Group C match at the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex.
