Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 11' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 12' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-2.
  • 17' - 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 Alejandro Balde suffering a number of foals already.
  • 22' - 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.
  • 27' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Spain that had 118 games and scored 36 goals.
  • 32' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 37' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Jordi Alba, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 39' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ko Itakura.
  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Shogo Taniguchi.
  • 45' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Maya Yoshida.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Japan. Takefusa Kubo is replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 48' - Goal! Ritsu Doan scores his 36 goal in 264 matches.
  • 51' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 2-2.
  • 53' - Ao Tanaka puts Japan on the lead.
  • 54' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 4-2.
  • 57' - Another substitution for Spain to replace Nico Williams by Ferran Torres on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takuma Asano is hanging Daizen Maeda on the field on 62 minute.
  • 67' - Daichi Kamada needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 68' - Ansu Fati has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pablo Gavira on 68 minute.
  • 69' - Time for substitution for Spain. Alejandro Balde is replaced by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - 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.
  • 79' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 84' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the 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.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
