Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Japan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Toby Alderweireld has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 20' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 30' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' - Belgium started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 40' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Gaku Shibasaki gets a Yellow card.
  • 45' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shinji Kagawa made 454 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 48' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Genki Haraguchi on 48.
  • 52' - What a strike from Takashi Inui! The score is 0-2.
  • 57' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 62' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 65' - The supporters are chanting for Marouane Fellaini. He replaces Dries Mertens on 65 minute.
  • 69' - Goal! Jan Vertonghen scores his 10 goal in 308 matches.
  • 74' - Goal! Marouane Fellaini scores his 3 goal in 337 matches.
  • 79' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 79 minutes.
  • 81' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hotaru Yamaguchi is hanging Gaku Shibasaki on the field on 81 minute.
