Shoya Nakajima capped his national team debut with a last-minute equalizer as Japan salvaged a 1-1 friendly draw with Mali on Friday.

The 23-year-old striker, currently on loan with Portuguese club Portimonense, came on at the hour-mark. He displayed a knack for finding space among the Mali defenders but failed to connect with a number of his passes and shots.

But as the seconds ticked down, Nakajima was once more unmarked in the penalty box.
