Rio de Janeiro-bound Japan defeated Ghana 3-0 behind a trio of well-struck goals on Wednesday in a charity match dedicated to the victims of last month's Kyushu earthquakes.

Shinya Yajima bagged a brace and Cayman Togashi chipped in with one for Makoto Teguramori's under-23 side, which has just the May 18-29 Toulon International in France and a June 29 friendly at home against South Africa before heading to the Summer Games.

Before the game at Best Amenity Stadium, Japan's two-time World Cup coach Takeshi Okada and the Sagan Tosu players did their part, calling for donations from the fans in exchange for a handshake.
