England had already qualified for the semifinals following wins against Angola and Cuba before facing the Asians today.
Despite dominating the early stages, Japan conceded in the 26th minute when Hirst converted his spot kick, and Uwakwe would have doubled the advantage four minutes later but his right-footed shot from outside the box narrowly missed target.
The Japanese equalized in the 53rd minute through Ando, but England had the last say with Taylor-Crossdale grabbing the winner in the last minutes.
Chelsea striker Ike Ugbo, who scored the winner against Angola, was not in action for the second straight game.
