Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to that hosts another battle between Belgium and Japan.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Shinji Kagawa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Keisuke Honda made 127 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 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.
  • 35' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Thomas Meunier, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' - The referee calls foul for Gaku Shibasaki. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 45' - 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.
  • 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' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 65' - Another change for Belgium made on 65 minute. Dries Mertens leaves to be changed by Marouane Fellaini.
  • 69' - GOAL! Jan Vertonghen scores on 69.
  • 74' - GOAL! Marouane Fellaini scores on 74. Assisted by Eden Hazard

  • 86' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
