Javier Aguirre scraped his first win in three games as Japan coach, after an own goal by Jamaica gave the Asian champions a 1-0 victory at home on Friday. The Blue Samurai squandered several chances against the "Reggae Boyz", but an own goal from Nyron Nosworthy in the 16th minute proved decisive. Japan were beaten 2-0 by Uruguay and were held 2-2 by Venezuela last month in their first two games under the Mexican, who took charge following the side's World Cup flop in Brazil.
