(3–0 pen.) Match details Australia dominated the first half of the match, and had chances to score through their forwards Tim Cahill and Harry Kewell. Japan had a scare shortly after half-time when a cross from Luke Wilkshire was misjudged by Japan's goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima and hit the crossbar, only for Cahill's shot to be cleared off the goal-line. Japan, however, had chances on the counter-attack including a wasted opportunity for Shinji Okazaki halfway through the second half, missing a header on goal while he was unmarked. The deadlock remained unbroken until the 20th minute of extra time, when Japan substitute Tadanari Lee scored off a cross from Yuto Nagatomo. Japan held its lead until the end of extra time to win the final.http://www.smh.com.au/sport/football/socceroos-suffer-extratime-heartbreak-20110130-1a9a6.html Socceroos suffer extra-time heartbreak Lynch Michael 30 January 2011 Sydney Morning Herald 29 January 2011 After the match, Keisuke Honda was named the "most valuable player" of the tournament.
