DORTMUND, Germany (Kyodo) Hidetoshi Nakata was quick to play down his last-gasp heroics after snatching an equalizer Tuesday in Japan's 2-2 draw with Bosnia-Herzegovina in a friendly in Germany.
Japan led courtesy of a Naohiro Takahara header on the stroke of halftime but looked to be heading for defeat after Zvejzdan Misimovic leveled from the penalty spot and Emir Spahic punished an error from keeper Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi to make it 2-1 in the 67th minute.
