The
tour’s last destination was Saitama. It was like we saved the best opponents for
last; Urawa Red Diamonds were a harder opponent to crack. For once, Giroud was
not able to find the net. Poldi scored (otherwise, it had been a rather dismal
performance from him) and Akpom sealed the victory eight minutes from time. Otherwise,
we’d have drawn just like the other English team to be playing in Japan then
(ManUre drew 2-2 with Cerezo Osaka on the same day).
