Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Khalifa International Stadium that hosts another battle between Japan and Spain.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Spain does not make any changes. Daizen Maeda has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 11' - Alvaro Morata puts Spain on the lead.
  • 12' - Alvaro Morata with the second goal in the match!
  • 17' - 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.
  • 22' - Busquets needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 27' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
  • 32' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 37' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
  • 39' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 39.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Shogo Taniguchi.
  • 45' - Maya Yoshida is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
  • 46' - Ritsu Doan is replacing Takefusa Kubo for the Japan side.
  • 48' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 51' - What an equalizer from Ao Tanaka!
  • 53' - Ao Tanaka puts Japan on the lead.
  • 54' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 4-2.
  • 57' - The whistle greets Nico Williams as he departs to be replaced by Ferran Torres.
  • 62' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takuma Asano is hanging Daizen Maeda on the field on 62 minute.
  • 67' - It looks like no one’s ball. Spain is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 68' - Spain manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ansu Fati is hanging Pablo Gavira on the field on 68 minute.
  • 69' - The supporters are chanting for Jordi Alba. He replaces Alejandro Balde on 69 minute.
  • 74' - Spain 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.
  • 79' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 84' - 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 Daichi Kamada suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Wataru Endo on 87 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
