FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup
The East Asian side extended their remarkable record of reaching at least the quarter-finals at every edition of the U-17 showpiece and will meet Ghana in the last eight.
Kenya took the lead just before the half-hour mark against the run of play when Brenda Achieng charged towards goal and slotted the ball past Kou Kadowaki into the corner.
Their advantage did not last long. Harura Matsushita’s long-range effort deflected into the path of Mei Hanashiro, who struck home powerfully to equalise in the 36th minute.
Nanami Kurita put Japan ahead in the 59th minute after capitalising on a loose ball in the area following a corner, before Asuka Tanaka sealed the win with 15 minutes to spare.
