Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Japan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 11' - Alvaro Morata puts Spain on the lead.
  • 12' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-2.

  • 27' - Ao Tanaka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 32' - 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.

  • 79' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pedri made 448 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 84' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
