Description

Because of traffic accidents holding up the Australians on the Shuto Expressway, Football Australia and JFA jointly requested to slightly postpone the match, but were denied by the AFC match commissioner. Australia started warming up at 19:06, 29 minutes before kick-off. Australia, staying in the Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo in downtown Bunkyō, Tokyo, took 2 hours 9 minutes (16:37–18:46) to arrive the stadium via chartered coach, while ordinary driving time from Tokyo Station is estimated to be 40 minutes, according to the stadium.
