Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Japan to score. At the same time, Spain does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - Ansu Fati has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 36 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 11' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 12' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 17' - Spain started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 17.
  • 22' - 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.
  • 27' - 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.
  • 32' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Shogo Taniguchi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 37' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 39' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Ko Itakura on 39.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Shogo Taniguchi gets a Yellow card.
  • 45' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Maya Yoshida.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 48' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 1-2.
  • 51' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 53' - GOAL! Ao Tanaka scores on 53.
  • 54' - GOAL! Ao Tanaka scores on 54.
  • 57' - Spain manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ferran Torres is hanging Nico Williams on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Japan. Daizen Maeda is replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 67' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pau Torres made 342 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 68' - Another change for Spain made on 68 minute. Pablo Gavira leaves to be changed by Ansu Fati.
  • 69' - Another change for Spain made on 69 minute. Alejandro Balde leaves to be changed by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - 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.
  • 79' - It looks like no one’s ball. Spain is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 84' - 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.
  • 87' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Wataru Endo on 87 minute.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Spain
