Japan 1 Bosnia-Herzegovina 2: Djuric at the double again to clinch Kirin Cup

Milan Djuric netted his second brace in five days as Bosnia-Herzegovina sealed Kirin Cup success with a 2-1 victory over hosts Japan.

The Cesena striker had scored twice as Bosnia fought back from two down en route to a penalty-shootout victory over Denmark in the semi-final on Friday.

And he repeated the feat at the Suita City Stadium on Tuesday, scoring in each half after Hiroshi Kiyotake had given the home side a deserved lead just prior to the half-hour.

Bosnia's response was almost immediate, however, with Djuric converting from close range, and the imposing forward netted the winner midway through the second period.

Japan - who had thumped Bulgaria 7-2 in the other semi - made a bright start, Takashi Usami forcing a save out of Bosnia goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic, who then did superbly to tip Kiyotake's rasping drive onto the crossbar in the 15th minute.

But the lead lasted just 60 seconds as Armin Hodzic's header was saved by Shusaku Nishikawa and Djuric smashed home the rebound.
