Football: Ueda scores 7th goal of season as Feyenoord beat RKC
BERLIN (Kyodo) -- Japan forward Ayase Ueda scored his seventh goal of the Dutch Eredivisie season for Feyenoord in a 2-0 win at home to RKC Waalwijk on Wednesday. Ueda completed the scoring in the 69th minute at De Kuip, drilling home a low left-footed shot from inside the box after Brazilian attacker Igor Paixao had played him through. Paixao headed in the opener in first-half stoppage time for Feyenoord, who are guaranteed to finish third with a game left, giving them a place in next season's Champions League qualifying round.

Football: Ueda nets 6th goal of season as Feyenoord hammer Zwolle
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (Kyodo) -- Japan forward Ayase Ueda scored his sixth goal of the season in the Dutch Eredivisie on Friday as Feyenoord eased past Zwolle 4-0 at home. Ueda netted the 14th-minute opener at De Kuip, lifting his left-footed shot past Zwolle keeper Jasper Schendelaar after he was played through by Jakub Moder. "I had the keeper in my peripheral vision while on the run and managed to shoot just as I imagined," Ueda said. A mistake by the keeper then allowed Antoni Milambo to double the lead in the 22nd minute. Igor Paixao rolled home three minutes later and curled in his second with 11 minutes to go to complete the scoring. "There are loads of things expected of me apart from scoring goals," said Ueda, who made his presence felt throughout the match. "I've been plugging away in achieving each of those and things are finally starting to take shape." The sixth straight win placed Robin van Persie's side third on the table, 11 points behind leaders Ajax, as they look to secure qualification for next season's Champions League.

Ito, Ueda back in Japan squad for crunch World Cup qualifiers
TOKYO, March 13 (Reuters) - Hiroki Ito and Ayase Ueda were named in the Japan squad for this month's 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Bahrain and Saudi Arabia on Thursday, recalled by coach Hajime Moriyasu after lengthy absences because of injury. Japan hold a nine-point lead in Asian qualifying Group C and victories over Bahrain on March 20 and the Saudis five days later in Saitama would assure them of a spot at the World Cup finals for the eighth straight edition. Defender Ito last month made his return from a metatarsal injury that had sidelined him since he joined Bayern Munich last June, while Feyenoord striker Ueda missed the last round of qualifiers with a leg injury. Koki Ogawa, who scored twice when Japan beat China 3-1 last November, was not included in the squad, while centre half Koki Machida was omitted because of a foot injury sustained while playing in the Belgian Pro League at the weekend. Defensive midfielder Hidemasa Morita retained his place in the squad after making his return from injury for Sporting Lisbon at the weekend. Moriyasu's 25-man squad featured only four Japan-based players with the remainder, including Liverpool's Wataru Endo and Brighton & Hove Albion's Kaoru Mitoma, playing their club football in Europe.
