Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Khalifa International Stadium that hosts another battle between Japan and Spain.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 11' - Alvaro Morata puts Spain on the lead.
  • 12' - GOAL! Alvaro Morata scores on 12. Assisted by Azpilicueta
  • 17' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Ansu Fati, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 22' - 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.
  • 27' - 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.
  • 32' - 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.
  • 37' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
  • 39' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ko Itakura.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Shogo Taniguchi on 44.
  • 45' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 46' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Takefusa Kubo departs to be 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' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 3-2.
  • 54' - Ao Tanaka makes a hat-trick on 54.
  • 57' - The supporters are chanting for Ferran Torres. He replaces Nico Williams on 57 minute.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Daizen Maeda as he departs to be replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 67' - 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.
  • 68' - Spain manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ansu Fati is hanging Pablo Gavira on the field on 68 minute.
  • 69' - Time for substitution for Spain. Alejandro Balde is replaced by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - Spain is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 79' - 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 Junya Ito suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' - It looks like no one’s ball. Spain is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 87' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Wataru Endo is hanging Ao Tanaka on the field on 87 minute.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Spain
