  • 20' - Gaku Shibasaki needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Makoto Hasebe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' - 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.

  • 40' - Japan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
