(CNN) -- Japan have comfortably beaten Denmark 3-1 at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg to book their place in the last 16 of the World Cup. First half goals from Keisuke Honda and Yasuhito Endo gave the Danes a mountain to climb. They never looked like they would recover and a miserable night was completed when Shinji Okazaki added a third in the 87th minute, shortly after a Jon Dahl Tomasson 81st minute goal had given Denmark a glimmer of hope. The Danes were comprehensively outplayed by Japan who produced their most resolute and skilful display of the tournament so far.
