Japan's win of the World Cup match against Colombia is twice sweet as the actions of Japan fans off the pitch are winning the hearts of millions.

The fans celebrated in a unique manner - by tiding up the stadium.

This is not the first time Japanese fans have done this. During the 2014 World Cup, despite losing to Ivory Coast, the supporters stayed back to tidy up the place.

In the 73rd minute, Yuya Osako netted the winner against Colombia by a header to give Japan their first win of the 2018 world cup.

Despite being the first Asian team to defeat a South American side, the supporters of the blue samurai did not go overboard. Once the match was over, they were seen picking up litter showcasing Japanese values of respecting and protecting the environment in front of all football spectators.
