Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Spain 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 Pau Torres, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 11' - Spain is taking the lead after the goal scored by Alvaro Morata on 11.
  • 12' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-2.
  • 17' - Nico Williams has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 27 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 22' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 27' - 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.
  • 32' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ao Tanaka scoring 3 goals.
  • 37' - 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 Ao Tanaka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 39' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 39.
  • 44' - Shogo Taniguchi is having his name booked by the referee on 44.
  • 45' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Maya Yoshida on 45.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 48' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 48.
  • 51' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 53' - GOAL! Ao Tanaka scores on 53.
  • 54' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 4-2.
  • 57' - The Spain manager makes a substitution. Nico Williams departs to be replaced by Ferran Torres.
  • 62' - Another change for Japan made on 62 minute. Daizen Maeda leaves to be changed by Takuma Asano.
  • 67' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 68' - Another substitution for Spain to replace Pablo Gavira by Ansu Fati on 68 minute.
  • 69' - The supporters are chanting for Jordi Alba. He replaces Alejandro Balde on 69 minute.
  • 74' - 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.
  • 79' - Spain started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 79.
  • 84' - It’s high time Luis Enrique made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 87' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Wataru Endo is hanging Ao Tanaka on the field on 87 minute.
  • Another three points for Japan.
