  • 5' - Spain started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ansu Fati made 448 appearances and scored 29 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 11' - Alvaro Morata puts Spain on the lead.
  • 12' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.

  • 22' - It’s high time Luis Enrique made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 27' - It looks like no one’s ball. Spain is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 32' - Spain is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 37' - 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.

  • 44' - The referee calls foul for Shogo Taniguchi. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 45' - Maya Yoshida is having his name booked by the referee on 45.

  • 69' - It is a substitution in Spain team. Alejandro Balde is replaced by Jordi Alba on 69 minute.

  • 79' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
