- 0' Temperatures are rising at as Japan face off against Chile in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' Japan are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Reinaldo Rueda will be considering his options from the bench.
- 19' Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 19.
- 21' Japan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 26' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hajime Moriyasu might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 31' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 36' 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.
- 41' Erick Pulgar puts Chile on the lead.
- 46' 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.
- 51' Both keepers have barely been tested. Japan and Chile are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 54' Eduardo Vargas does the damage! The net is bulging and Chile surge ahead!
- 59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Naomichi Ueda suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' The travelling Chile supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 66' The Japan bench stirs into life. Daizen Maeda is withdrawn and Koji Miyoshi gets his opportunity.
- 71' The 37-year-old Junior Fernandes has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 76' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 78' A tactical swap from Chile — Pablo Hernandez on, Arturo Vidal off on 78 minutes.
- 79' Ayase Ueda makes way for Shinji Okazaki at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Japan.
- 80' Jose Pedro Fuenzalida makes way for Oscar Opazo at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Chile.
- 82' Brilliant from the centre-forward! Alexis Sanchez makes it 0-3 with a superb finish on 82.
- 83' Eduardo Vargas doubles the advantage! 0-4 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 87' Junior Fernandes has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alexis Sanchez on 87 minute.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for Chile. Oscar Opazo will be fuming at that decision.
- Full Time. Chile beats Japan
