Hasegawa and Kerolin feature for Japan and Brazil
City duo Yui Hasegawa and Kerolin Nicoli were both involved for their respective countries in the latest round of women's international action.
Hasegawa started for Japan as the hosts shared the spoils in a 1-1 friendly draw against Colombia.
The midfielder figured for 70 minutes before making way in what proved an entertaining encounter in Osaka.
The South Americans opened the scoring 10 minutes before half-time when Karla Torres found the target, the goal coming just four minutes after Hinata Miyazawa had missed a spot-kick for Japan.
However, Japan kept pushing for a leveller and were awarded another penalty in the 93rd minute with Hana Takahashi making no mistake from the spot this time round.
Kerolin meanwhile was a second half substitute for Brazil who lost 2-0 to the United States in a friendly played in Los Angeles.
The City forward came on late in the second half of the clash staged at the SoFi Stadium
Trinity Rodman's fifth minute effort had earlier opened the scoring for the hosts who then went on to seal victory thanks to a 66th minute penalty converted by Lindsay Heaps.

Club World Cup: Jack Grealish left out of Man City squad
MIAMI (AP) — Jack Grealish has been left out of Manchester City's squad for the Club World Cup. City manager Pep Guardiola named a 27-man squad for the tournament, which kicks off in Miami on Saturday, with Grealish a notable omission. Advertisement The England forward was a British record signing when he moved to City from Aston Villa for 100 million pounds ($139 million then) in 2021 and went on to help the club win three Premier League titles, the Champions League and a host of other trophies. But he has become an increasingly peripheral figure and made only seven league starts last season. The 29-year-old Grealish's absence from the Club World Cup will add to the growing expectation that he will leave during the offseason, with Guardiola embarking on a squad rebuild following the team's first trophyless season in eight years. City's squad includes four new players signed in time to take part in the month-long tournament in the United States: Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Marcus Bettinelli. Advertisement In January, City also spent big to sign Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis as Guardiola began his overhaul of a squad that saw its dominance of English soccer broken by Liverpool last season. If Grealish goes, he is likely to be one of a number of players to move on. Kevin De Bruyne is leaving at the end of his contract this month and Kyle Walker is also likely to go after a loan move to AC Milan in January; as expected, neither player was in the squad. City's first match at the 32-team tournament is against Wydad Casablanca next Wednesday in Philadelphia. The other teams in the group are Juventus and Abu Dhabi's Al Ain. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer: James Robson, The Associated Press
