Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Japan and Spain is underway.
  • 5' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ao Tanaka scoring 3 goals.
  • 10' - Spain started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 11' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 12' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-2.
  • 17' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 17 minutes.
  • 22' - 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 Dani Olmo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 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' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jordi Alba made 448 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 37' - Spain is showing some good football. However, Spain are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 39' - Japan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Shogo Taniguchi.
  • 45' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Maya Yoshida.
  • 46' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 48' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 48.
  • 51' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 53' - Ao Tanaka puts Japan on the lead.
  • 54' - GOAL! Ao Tanaka scores on 54.
  • 57' - Ferran Torres has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nico Williams on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Daizen Maeda by Takuma Asano on 62 minute.
  • 67' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 68' - The supporters are chanting for Ansu Fati. He replaces Pablo Gavira on 68 minute.
  • 69' - Jordi Alba has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alejandro Balde on 69 minute.
  • 74' - Ko Itakura has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 79' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 84' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 87' - The supporters are chanting for Wataru Endo. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 87 minute.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Spain
