Football: M'gladbach sign Japan forward Shuto Machino on 4-year deal
BERLIN (Kyodo) -- Japan forward Shuto Machino has joined Borussia Monchengladbach from relegated Holstein Kiel on a four-year deal, the German Bundesliga club announced Saturday. The 25-year-old joined Kiel, then in the second division, in the summer of 2023 from J-League club Shonan Bellmare. He scored 11 goals last season in the German top tier as they went straight back down. "I really wanted to join Borussia, which is why I'm delighted that the move has now gone through," Machino said on Monchengladbach's official website. "Now, I want to do everything I can in order to help the team as quickly as possible." Machino was part of the Japan squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but did not get any playing time. The Mie Prefecture native joins Japanese compatriots Ko Itakura and Shio Fukuda at his new club.

Borussia Mönchengladbach sign Shuto Machino
Borussia Mönchengladbach have officially confirmed the capture of Japanese striker Shuto Machino. The 25-year-old moves to the Niederrheiner from relegated Bundesliga outfit Holstein Kiel. Kicker reports that the transfer fee is a little less than initially reported, with Gladbach shelling out between €6m and €8m for the eight-times-capped Samurai international. Machino serves as the second striker Gladbach have signed in the last eight days. Hoffenheim forward Haris Tabakovic was recently procured on loan. Machino, who can fill other roles besides that of a center-forward in attack, is designed to help the foals cope with the long term absence of German striker Tim Kleindienst. In signing Machino, Gladbach have acquired a player possessing a positional skill set more akin to the departed Alassane Plea. The signing also likely puts to rest (albeit very loose) rumors linking Bayern Munich attacker Paul Wanner with a move to the foals. Bayern are known to wish to retain Wanner anyway. 'Shuto is a versatile striker who can play in various positions,' BMG sporting director Roland Virkus noted in a club statement. 'He proved last season that he can rack up double-digit goalscoring numbers in the Bundesliga. We are therefore delighted that he has chosen Borussia.' 'I really wanted to join Borussia, so I'm delighted that the transfer has gone through,' Machino himself added. 'Now I want to do everything I can to help the team as quickly as possible.' GGFN |

Kamada hits double as Japan thrash Indonesia 6-0
OSAKA, Japan: Crystal Palace forward Daichi Kamada scored twice as Japan rounded off their successful World Cup qualifying campaign with a 6-0 thrashing of Patrick Kluivert's Indonesia in Osaka on Tuesday. Kamada, an FA Cup winner with Palace in England this season, struck twice in the first half as already qualified Japan finished the campaign as Group C winners, scoring 30 goals in their 10 matches. Takefusa Kubo, Ryoya Morishita, Shuto Machino and substitute Mao Hosoya were also on target against Indonesia, who finished fourth in the group. Kluivert's side, who were backed by a large travelling support in Japan, advance to a further round with five other teams to decide two more Asian qualifiers for next year's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Japan lost their unbeaten qualifying record in a 1-0 defeat away to Australia last week, with coach Hajime Moriyasu fielding an experimental line-up with qualification already in the bag. Indonesia's Mees Hilgers (L) tries to defend as Japan's forward Shuto Machino scores his team's fifth goal. — AFP He started with two more debutants against Indonesia, handing first caps to defender Junnosuke Suzuki and winger Shunsuke Mito. Kamada opened the scoring in the 15th minute, heading home from a Mito cross. The Palace forward turned provider for his team's second, combining with Kubo before the Real Sociedad man fired past Indonesia goalkeeper Emil Audero. Indonesia lost defender Kevin Diks to injury midway through the first half and his replacement Yakob Sayuri lasted only 15 minutes before he also had to go off after a clash of heads. Kamada scored Japan's third on the stroke of half-time, waltzing through the Indonesia defence before tucking the ball over Audero. Morishita volleyed home at the back post in the 55th minute for his first international goal. Machino and Hosoya also got on the scoresheet as Japan continued to squeeze Indonesia until the final whistle. — AFP

Football: Machino nets 11th goal, leaves injured as Kiel get big win
BERLIN (Kyodo) -- Holstein Kiel forward Shuto Machino scored for the third successive German Bundesliga match before going off injured Sunday as the relegation-threatened club grabbed a vital 3-1 win at Augsburg. The 25-year-old Japan international took his tally to 11 league goals when he opened the scoring at WWK Arena with a 25th-minute penalty. He left the pitch in the 39th minute and was later seen on crutches, according to the league website. Forward Alexander Bernhardsson looped in a header a minute after Machino's withdrawal and swept in another for Kiel in the 51st minute. Steve Mounie pulled one back for Augsburg in the 90th minute. Kiel remain in the relegation zone, but the win moved them up to 25 points, just a point behind Heidenheim, who occupy the promotion-relegation playoff spot in 16th. Bayern Munich, home to Japan defender Hiroki Ito, who is currently out injured, claimed their 34th league title after holders Bayer Leverkusen drew 2-2 at Freiburg, leaving them eight points off the lead with two games to go. In England, Japan captain Wataru Endo made his first Premier League start this season as newly crowned champions Liverpool were beaten 3-1 at Chelsea. Leeds midfielder Ao Tanaka was named the club's player of the season by his teammates after helping them win the second-tier Championship and secure promotion to the Premier League. Tanaka joined from German second-tier side Fortuna Dusseldorf last summer and excelled in his first season in England, with his 20-meter curling strike away to Hull in January voted Leeds' goal of the season by their fans.
