Stuttgart striker Takuma Asano has bizarrely blamed himself for the goal that never was in Japan's shock 2-1 World Cup qualifying defeat against the United Arab Emirates last week.
Now the striker, who recently represented Japan at the Rio Olympics, wants to take out his frustration on Thailand in the team's second Group B match in Bangkok on Tuesday.
Asano scored what television replays confirmed to be a perfectly legitimate goal when he struck a headed ball from teammate Keisuke Honda in Thursday's game in Saitama.
