Bangladesh, Sept. 23 -- The Tokai Indoor Stadium is located on the outskirts of Nagoya city. Upon entering the stadium, one is greeted by chants of "Nippon, Nippon."

Some spectators hold flags, while others wear Japanese jerseys, the atmosphere outside the court leaved no doubt about the intent to put pressure on Bangladesh.

In kabaddi, Japan men's kabaddi team are considered relatively weaker than Bangladesh men's kabaddi team.

Almost everyone expected Bangladesh would defeat Japan and secure a medal at the Asian Games on Tuesday. Instead, Japan's performance stunned everyone. Displaying exceptional skill in both raiding and defense, Japan won the match 40-36.

Having lost to hosts Japan, Bangladesh's medal hopes are now in jeopardy....
