Giappone-Senegal 2-2: Inui replica a Mané, Honda a Wague - Duration: 3:01.

ROMA - A viso aperto, tra gol e errori, Senegal e Giappone si prendono un punto a testa e inguaiano Polonia e Colombia, ancora più sotto pressione: se una delle due perde, sarà inevitabilmente eliminata dalla competizione

A Ekaterinburg finisce 2-2, con gli africani avanti due volte e per due volte raggiunti dai Samurai di Nishino, bravo a indovinare il cambio Honda, decisivo nel fissare il risultato

INUI REPLICA A MANE' - Il Senegal la sblocca subito, grazie ad una pressione offensiva irresistibile: il cross è di Wague, la conclusione è dell'altro terzino Sabaly, Kawashima sbaglia l'intervento e di pugno spedisce il pallone sul ginocchio di Mané, velenoso nel farsi trovare sottoporta per l'1-0 di rapina

La reazione giapponese sbatte contro il muro Sané-Koulibaly ed è tutta in un siluro di capitan Hasebe respinto da Osako; dall'altra parte Ismaila in mezza rovesciata va vicino al raddoppio

ATTACCO SULLE FASCE: E' 2-1 SENEGAL - Dopo Niang, è Inui a finire sul taccuino di Rocchi per fermare Sarr lanciato a rete

Mancano meno di venti minuti, il Senegal manovra sulla sinistra con Mané che trova Sabaly in area: veronica e cross rasoterra del terzino che Niang sfiora ma che arriva sul destro dell'altro laterale africano, Wague, che di potenza scarica in rete il nuovo vantaggio

Di nuovo gli esterni decisivi, la chiave della manovra offensiva del ct Cissè, con il numero 22 che diventa il più giovane africano della storia a segnare in una Coppa del Mondo (19 anni e 8 mesi)

HONDA ENTRA E PAREGGIA! - Nishino a questo punto si gioca il tutto per tutto: dentro Honda per Kagawa e Okazaki per Haraguchi, nel mezzo un tiro a botta sicura di Osako in area viene respinto con il ginocchio da Sané

La palla carambola poi sul braccio del difensore ma Rocchi lascia giustamente correre

Passano pochi minuti e il Giappone pareggia di nuovo: N'Diaye esce a vuoto su un cross, Inui rimette al centro trovando Honda e il suo sinistro spietato che elude anche l'ultimo tentativo disperato di Sané

E' il gol che - ultimi cambi nel finale a parte - chiude il match, con l'ex Milan che entra nella storia del suo Giappone: mai nessun giocatore era andato a segno in tre diverse edizioni della Coppa del Mondo

Honda fixes its past mistakes with the Civic Type R - Duration: 9:02.

Honda fixes its past mistakes with the Civic Type R

Honda fixes its past mistakes with the Civic Type R.

The 2018 Honda Civic Type R goes like a Tokyo bullet, writes Thomas Falkiner.

  OMG! Look at all those silly wings and scoops and ducts and things.

Is Honda trying to target high-school kids with this thing? Hilarious! From some angles - or most angles actually - the new Honda Civic Type-R screams "Boy Racer".

Compared to the competition it is anything but subtle and those seeking to blend in with everyday traffic should look elsewhere.

But here's the thing: as juvenile delinquent as those exterior styling cues might be, the price tag is anything but.

At nearly R650k the new Type-R is only going to be within financial reach of people with more mature wallets.

So is a 38-year-old with requisite monetary clout really going to take this Civic over a Golf R or Audi S3? I'll bet you my record and VHS collection not many would.

So going on styling alone, you wouldn't buy one if somebody gave you the money? Oh, I absolutely would.

If I had the cash, the Type-R is most certainly the one I would pick.

It stands out and makes a statement.

Like Johnny Knoxville in Jackass 3D, this Honda does not seem to take itself too seriously and I like that.

You spent a lot of time whingeing about how uncomfortable the last Civic Type-R was.

Is this better? The previous and extremely short-lived Type-R was biblically hard.

Especially when you had it in +R mode and those shocks suddenly filled with what felt like reinforced concrete.

Seriously, if you hit a speed bump at anything over 40km/h in that thing your spinal cord would come spearing out the top of your skull.

This time around things are different.

The new Type-R may be firm but I never found it harsh, thanks to its much-improved adaptive dampers.

While +R mode is probably still best enjoyed around a racetrack, Sport and Comfort are ideal for real-world roads.

  Audi RS3 Sportback: the RS should stand for rocket ship - it's that quick! If you found the sedan too plain, then the Audi RS3 Sportback, which has the same power specs, is the one to get, says Thomas Falkiner.

He answers.

Lifestyle 4 months ago Honda has done a fabulous job in terms of upping ride refinement and for the first time the Type-R is a credible everyday car.

The same can be said for the seats.

In years gone by those bright red sports seats would give your rump a proper pummeling.

These, however, are not only extremely comfortable and well cushioned but also very supportive.

Top marks.

Okay, enough small talk already.

Is it fast? Figures of 228kW and 400Nm might not look all that impressive on paper but when you consider that they only have to push around a kerb weight of 1,356kg, well, it's clear that this Honda packs a wallop.

And does it ever.

Keep the throttle pinned, chase down that 7000rpm redline and the amount of speed this car piles on is ridiculous.

FAST FACTS Engine capacity: 1996cc Power: 228kW No.

of cylinders: 4 Max speed: 272km/h 0-100km/h: 5.8 Litres/100km: 12.2 Price: R635,500 Want context? I drove my mate's Cayman GTS and when I spilled back into the Honda it felt noticeably more urgent, especially below 4 500rpm.

At this dizzy altitude I'd hazard a guess that on most roads the Type-R would leave the naturally aspirated GTS wheezing in its wake - though maybe just not off the line.

This is because Honda has built this weird protection system into the engine that doesn't allow you to rev it past 3 500rpm when the car is stationary.

This means you can't spool up the turbo, which means you bog down when trying to make a snappy launch.

So there's no way you'll get close to the claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 5.8-seconds.

Nope, in reality you're looking somewhere in the realm of about 6.5 seconds.

The Civic Type-R is strong through the gears once moving, but if you enjoy a good drag race then you'll be disappointed - especially if you take on a VW Golf R or Ford Focus RS.

Both those cars are all-wheel-drive.

Doesn't the Type-R miss it? Not at all.

In fact, I would have to concede that this Type-R is quite possibly one of the sweetest handling front-wheel-drive cars.

Besides being endowed with a massive amount of mechanical grip, it has this physics-bending ability to resist understeer that will amaze you.

Simply turn the steering wheel; adhere the accelerator to the firewall and this Civic will follow your chosen line like a Tokyo bullet train scorching down the track.

Indeed, with a skilled pilot at the helm, this machine has the potential to rival or even beat some much dearer automotive exotica.

  Start your engines: amateur racing isn't as expensive as you'd think There are clubs all over South Africa catering to the needs of passionate petrolheads eager to show their prowess on the race track Lifestyle 3 months ago What also blew my mind was the eerie absence of torque steer.

Even on choppy surfaces the Type-R transfers its power to the tarmac without arm-wrestling antics - quite a feat for a hot-hatch.

Topped with a deliciously crisp six-speed manual gearbox (that automatically blips the throttle on downshifts) plus some insanely strong Brembo brakes, this is a driver's car par excellence and proof that Honda has at long last returned to the top of its game.

Japan 2-2 Senegal: Super sub Honda comes off the bench to seal a point - Duration: 6:27.

England are through to the last 16 of the World Cup, but who they will play in the next stage really is anyone's guess

An entertaining draw between Japan and Senegal at the Central Stadium in Yekaterinburg leaves Group H wide open, with Poland and Colombia still to play

All four teams still have a chance of progressing to the last 16, where the top two will meet England and Belgium

Senegal twice led through Sadio Mane and Moussa Wague, but a spirited Japan continue to exceed expectations and Takashi Inui scored before their World Cup talisman Keisuke Honda struck 12 minutes from time to become the first player from his country to score in three different finals

'It's possible to stop him': Japan boss Akira Nishino hoping. Switzerland duo Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri facing

Share this article Share Japan kept the same starting line-up from their opening group win over 10-man Colombia with striker Yuya Osako keeping Leicester's Shinji Okasaki on the bench

MATCH FACTS JAPAN: Kawashima, Hiroki Sakai, Yoshida, Shoji, Nagatomo, Haraguchi (Okazaki 75), Hasebe, Shibasaki, Inui (Usami 87), Kagawa (Honda 72), Osako;Subs not used: Higashiguchi, Ueda, Endo, Muto, Yamaguchi, Oshima, Makino, Gotoku Sakai, NakamuraGoals: Inui (34), Honda (78)Bookings: Inui, HasebeManager: Akira NishinoSENEGAL: Khadim N'Diaye, Sabaly, Koulibaly, Sane, Wague, Badou Ndiaye ((N'Doye 81), Alfred N'Diaye (Kouyate 64), Gueye, Sarr, Niang (Diouf 85), Mane;Subs not used: Diallo, Mbengue, Mbodji, Sow, Konate, Sakho, Balde, Gassama, GomisGoals: Mane (12), Wague (71)Bookings: Niang, N'doyeManager: Aliou CisseReferee: Gianluca Rocchi (Italy) Senegal made one change to the side that beat Poland as Badou Ndiaye replaced his Stoke teammate Mame Biram Diouf

The Africans had benefitted from poor defending to score the decisive goal in that game, and it was a similar story when they took a deserved lead in the 11th minute here after a positive start

Wague floated over a rather aimless cross from the right which reached Genki Haraguchi under no pressure whatsoever

The Japan defender had several options but decided to glance a header behind him where Youssouf Sabaly was standing unmarked

Sabaly tested Eiji Kawashima with a shot from 15 yards and the goalkeeper failed miserably

For some reason, Kawashima tried to punch it away instead of making a simple catch, and directed the ball straight at the legs of Mane who was standing in front of him

The Liverpool striker doesn't need any help scoring goals, and on this occasion the ball rebounded off him into the back of the net

It left another question mark Kawashima who has proved erratic in the past and hardly covered himself in glory when he failed to keep out Juan Quintero's freekick for Colombia in the first game

Akira Nishino, a coach brought in just 70 days before the start of Japan's World Cup campaign, looked on in disbelief on the touchline

He admitted on the eve of this game to concerns about Senegal's physical advantage, but his team had practically gifted their opponents the lead

At that point, you wondered how Japan were going to find an equaliser, such was the lack of attacking threat from Nishino's side

But they struck back with a fine goal 11 minutes before half-time.  Inui was the man to score it, having earlier blocked a fierce effort from his captain Makoto Hasebe

It came from a fine diagonal ball to pick out Yuto Nagatomo galloping into the Senegal box, and he controlled it first time before cutting back inside Wague

Inui insisted on taking possession from his teammate and it proved to be a wise choice as he took advantage of Wague regaining his position to use the Senegal defender as a shield, curling the ball around him and beyond goalkeeper Khadim N'Diaye

The Africans had a chance to restore their lead before the break when Badou Ndiaye slipped the ball through to send M'Baye Niang clear but Kawashima came out to redeem himself with a fine block

  And Japan wasted a golden opportunity to go ahead on the hour when an excellent move saw Haraguchi slide a pass to the edge of the six-yard box

Osako was on the end of it and looked certain to score, but the man who scored one and made the other against Colombia somehow allowed the ball to squeeze through his legs without making contact

Inui was then inches away from a second four minutes later as Japan continued to threaten when his right-foot shot from a breakaway beat N'Diaye but clipped the bar

They looked the more likely winners at that stage of the game but were punished by a Senegal goal in the 71st minute

It started with Mane who was marshalled by two opponents out on the left touchline and chipped a pass to Sabaly in the box

  The No 12 produced a neat piece of skill to turn away from Gaku Shibasaki and drill the ball across goal

Niang helped it on and Wague had escaped the attention of Inui, ghosting in at the far post to rifle a shot into the roof of the net

Again Japan found themselves behind, and again they managed to come up with an equaliser with substitutes Okazaki and Keisuke Honda involved

Goalkeeper N'Diaye rushed off his line to meet a cross under pressure from Okazaki and missed it completely

The ball ran through to Osako who kept it in and squared a pass for Honda to score in an unguarded net

Japan's Keisuke Honda makes football history for Japan after scoring against Senegal - Duration: 4:05.

 Six minutes later, it was a done deal. The former AC Milan forward scored in the 78th minute, knocking the ball past two defenders standing on the goal line, to give Japan a 2-2 draw with Senegal on Sunday at the World Cup

 The 32-year-old Honda also scored at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. He has 37 international goals in his career

 "I believe I used substitutions very well in looking back," said Japan coach Akira Nishino, who took over shortly before the tournament started

"Honda was moved from center to the wide side and he was very versatile at adapting to that position

 "We really wanted to win, we wanted to equalize and also take the lead even though there was only a short period of time left

" The draw keeps both teams at the top of Group H ahead of their final matches. Japan will next face Poland in Volgograd on Thursday while Senegal faces Colombia in Samara

 Sadio Mane gave Senegal the lead in the 11th minute with his first World Cup goal

 The Liverpool forward tapped the ball into the net after goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima was unable to control a shot from Youssouf Sabaly

"The ball touched my foot and went into the net," Mane said. "It was really just the foot on the ball

" Japan struck back in the 34th minute when Takashi Inui scored with Japan's first shot on goal, but Moussa Wague restored the lead with a shot high into the net in the 71st

 A minute later, Nishino sent on Honda and striker Shinji Okazaki. Senegal outshot Japan 14-7 and had five shots on target

Japan had only two. "Frankly speaking, I think we are a bit disappointed," Mane said

And that's normal because there was a way to win this match." Aliou Cisse, the coach of Senegal and the captain of the 2002 team that reached the quarterfinals, said his team needs to be more aggressive

"We need to have more concentration and be more rigorous," Cisse said. "We didn't lose today

We didn't play a great game, but we didn't lose."

Life Car TV - Red Bull's Max Verstappen Excited About 2019 Honda Engine Deal - Duration: 2:55.

Even though Red Bull has been extremely successful using Renault power, the recent progress showed by Honda alongside sister-team Toro Rosso led to it signing a deal to use the Japanese engines starting next year

Max Verstappen seems to be totally onboard with the Honda switch, especially after visiting the manufacturer's facility last year following the Toro Rosso deal, reports Autosport

"I believe in it, and the team clearly believes in it because they signed the deal

It's exciting as well.You have Honda basically working for Red Bull and Toro Rosso only, so it's purely designed around your car

I think that also is very good." "I spoke with them [Red Bull management] for a long time about what I thought of it

" "Of course I knew this [was happening] already earlier than you guys.They always kept me quite close because I like to understand what's going to happen with the team in the future

" Yet, Red Bull's other driver, Daniel Ricciardo, is a little more reserved with regards to next year's Red Bull-Honda car

"Honestly, I still don't really know.Obviously Renault's come a pretty long way this year

I know we still don't have the qualifying modes, but our race pace, once we're all fuel saving and all that, we seem a lot more competitive

So they're improving." "As you can see Honda seems to be improving with Toro Rosso

I think it's fair to say they're both on the up – it's just who's going to get there quicker, that's still the unknown

" From the outside looking in, it's funny to see Red Bull praising Honda's progress, whereas McLaren feels Renault is the better option after ditching the Japanese engines due to their lackluster performance
