In the second of two Kirin Cup contests, in June 2000, Japan strolled to an easy win over Bolivia. Atsushi Yanagisawa was subjected to the first of many snubs he would suffer at the hands of Troussier, scoring a brace in the first half only to be benched early in the second half. Though the performance was not particularly brilliant, against an under-strength Bolivian squad, it was yet another step on the road to improvement that would take Japan to Asian Cup victory later in the year.
