Japan beats United States 2-0 in men’s Olympic soccer warmup match

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Shota Fujio converted a penalty kick in the sixth minute, Mao Hosoya added a goal in the 69th and Japan beat the United States 2-0 in an under-23 game, the Americans’ last warmup ahead of the Olympics. Japan was awarded the penalty kick when Koki Saito flicked the ball off the right arm of defender Bryan Reynolds at the edge of the penalty area. Japan scored its second goal after intercepting John Tolkin’s throw-in. Shunsuke Mito dribbled toward goal and his pass deflected off defender Jonathan Tomkinson and Schulte, and Hosoya tapped in the rebound from 4 yards.
