Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - Dani Olmo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 10' - 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.

  • 12' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-2.

  • 22' - Daizen Maeda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 27' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 32' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Takefusa Kubo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 37' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Japan winning 100% of all matches.
  • 39' - The referee calls foul for Ko Itakura. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 44' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.

  • 51' - What an equalizer from Ao Tanaka!
  • 53' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 3-2.
  • 54' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 4-2.

  • 69' - Another substitution for Spain to replace Alejandro Balde by Jordi Alba on 69 minute.
  • 74' - 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.
  • 79' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 84' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
