Three Japanese internationals faced 100 kids in a friendly match in what has become a Japanese New Year's tradition.

This year, the exhibition featured J1 league stars Hotaru Yamaguchi, Yosuke Ideguchi, and Hiroshi Kiyotake.

Despite being surrounded by young kids, the three pros looked dominant.

Ideguchi even managed to score a goal with a well-placed chip over the helpless kids.
