  "summary": "In the Asian Games women's football tournament semifinals, South Korea suffered a 2-0 defeat to Japan at Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa in Fukuroi, Japan. Both goals were scored by Chiina Kamiya in the second half, securing Japan's sixth consecutive Asiad final appearance. The match saw a lack of shots on target until the 35-minute mark, with South Korean defender Jang Selgi's goal and subsequent Japanese responses. South Korea will now compete for the bronze medal against China, while Japan will face North Korea for the gold. This will be the third consecutive Asian Games where Japan will meet North Korea in the gold medal match.",
