Japan stuns USA to reach their first-ever gold medal match 

Japan is in their first-ever gold medal match after the team completely overthrew the U20 USA football team by 41-20 in the IFAF U20 World Junior Championships at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. Not to forget that the winning country has only produced 12 NFL players ever, as per reports. 

The Americans were already down to 20-0 in the first quarter while getting thrashed by the opposing side the whole time. Following the incredible result against the two-time champions, Japan will now play for the IFAF U20 World Junior Championship gold medal for the first time.

All thanks to their dominating defence in the first half, the Japanese players limited the much-experienced opponents to seven points which helped them end the first half in an unassailable 20-7 lead.
