OITA -- Junichi Inamoto's first-half goal gave Japan a 1-0 win over Yugoslavia and the Kirin Cup title Wednesday night at the brand-new Oita Stadium.

Japan won the annual tournament for the second year in a row and fifth time overall since the three-nation tournament changed its format to an international A event in 1992.

But Yugoslavia midfielder Dragan "Pixy" Stojkovic failed to celebrate his final game with his national team with a win.
