AMMAN, April 10 (Xinhua) -- Defending champions Japan were held a goalless draw by South Korea here on Tuesday in their second match of Group B in AFC Women's Asian Cup.

Japan will survive the group unless they lose to Australia on Friday.

Australia opened the scoring in the 8th minute by Kyah Simon, added by Alanna Kennedy, Chloe Logarzo, Emily van Egmond, Samantha Kerr to enjoy a 5-0 lead in the first half.
