Bangkok: Japan put their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign firmly back on track with a comfortable 2-0 victory over an outplayed Thailand side at the sold-out Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok on Tuesday.

Goals from Genki Haraguchi and Takuma Asano handed Japan three points and their margin of victory could have been a lot more convincing but for the brilliance of Thailand ‘keeper Kawin Thamsatchanan who made a number of world class saves.

Both teams lost their opening Group B games in final round qualifying with Japan going down 2-1 at home to the United Arab Emirates and Thailand denied a point in Riyadh by a late penalty from Saudi Arabia.
