SAMARA, Russia (Reuters) - Japanese midfielder Takashi Inui was left to rue what might have been despite scoring one goal and setting up the other as Japan twice fought back from behind to secure a 2-2 draw with Senegal in Yeketarinburg on Sunday.

Inui, who signed for Real Betis at the start of June, has been one of Japan's most influential players at this World Cup and was once again a constant threat down the left flank in the Group H encounter.
