Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Japan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Josip Juranovic, as he is very good at scoring at Al Janoub Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - 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 Daizen Maeda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - It’s high time Zlatko Dalic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - Croatia looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ivan Perisic scoring 2 goals.
  • 40' - Nikola Vlasic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 43' - GOAL! Daizen Maeda scores on 43. Assisted by Maya Yoshida
  • 44' - Goal! Daizen Maeda scores his 50 goal in 34 matches.
  • 49' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Croatia that had 165 games and scored 38 goals.
  • 54' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 55' - Goal! Ivan Perisic scores his 51 goal in 419 matches.
  • 56' - GOAL! Ivan Perisic scores on 56. Assisted by Dejan Lovren
  • 61' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Mario Pasalic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 62' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Bruno Petkovic is replaced by Ante Budimir on 62 minute.
  • 64' - Kaoru Mitoma has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuto Nagatomo on 64 minute.
  • 68' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mario Pasalic is hanging Andrej Kramaric on the field on 68 minute.
  • 73' - It looks like no one’s ball. Croatia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 75' - Hiroki Sakai is replacing Daichi Kamada for the Japan side.
  • 80' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Croatia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 85' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
  • 87' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ritsu Doan departs to be replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 90' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mateo Kovacic.
  • Another three points for Croatia.
