More of a misjudgement by Sorensen
I thought so too. The ball did little imo even though it was well struck. Looked to me like the keeper simply left acres of goal uncovered and Honda took aim.
I think the goal keeping coach needs to have a word with the keeper about the second one too. This time, positioning of the wall. Again, a well hit shot but this time there was movement - around the wall - but I don't think the keeper had the wall far enough over, or it needed an extra man. I reckon I could have put that one in!
All of that said, Japan look far the better side to me. I'm impressed with their work rate, movement and defending. They're closing down players, snaffling the ball in midfield and there's been some really incisive passing. Actually, I'm impressed altogether! What price Japan for the next World Cup?
