Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Khalifa International Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Japan and Spain.
  • 5' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ao Tanaka scoring 3 goals.
  • 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.
  • 11' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-1.
  • 12' - GOAL! Alvaro Morata scores on 12. Assisted by Azpilicueta
  • 17' - Spain started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 17.
  • 22' - Japan 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.
  • 27' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 32' - 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.
  • 37' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 39' - The referee shows Japan player a Yellow card on 39.
  • 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' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Takefusa Kubo is replaced by Ritsu Doan 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' - Sensational shot from Ao Tanaka. Japan is back in the lead.

  • 62' - The supporters are chanting for Takuma Asano. He replaces Daizen Maeda on 62 minute.
  • 67' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 68' - The supporters are chanting for Ansu Fati. He replaces Pablo Gavira on 68 minute.
  • 69' - The supporters are chanting for Jordi Alba. He replaces Alejandro Balde on 69 minute.
  • 74' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 74 minutes.
  • 79' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 84' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Daizen Maeda, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
