The Blue Samurai notched up an unprecedented fourth title thanks to a 109th minute Tadanari Lee volley, giving manager Alberto Zaccheroni his first piece of silverware in less than six months in the job.A left-foot volley in the 109th from Lee when he was left completely unmarked 10 meters (yards) from Australia's goal. Lee had always on the planet to completely time his volley from a go by way of defender Yuto Nagatoma and fire it prior Australia goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.Australia could only have themselves to blame as they missed a host of chances throughout proceedings but Japan held firm in defence, led by goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima, and eventually ran out winners to qualify themselves for the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil.
