Daizen Maeda
28-Year-Old
Celtic
Finds back of net
Maeda scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus Sweden.
ANALYSIS
Maeda was the hero for Japan as they looked to have at first won the match before a Swedish equalizer, as the forward found the back of the net in the draw. This is his first goal of the tournament, a huge boost for the forward after no shots in their opener and going unused in their second contest. After a decent showing against Sweden, a starting role is likely in the knockouts.
