Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Khalifa International Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - It’s high time Luis Enrique made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 11' - Spain is taking the lead after the goal scored by Alvaro Morata on 11.
  • 12' - GOAL! Alvaro Morata scores on 12. Assisted by Azpilicueta
  • 17' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dani Olmo made 170 appearances and scored 36 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 22' - 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.
  • 27' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 32' - Shuichi Gonda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 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.
  • 39' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ko Itakura.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Shogo Taniguchi on 44.
  • 45' - Japan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' - Time for substitution for Japan. Takefusa Kubo is replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 48' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 1-2.
  • 51' - GOAL! Ao Tanaka scores on 51. Assisted by Kaoru Mitoma
  • 53' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 54' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 57' - Ferran Torres is replacing Nico Williams for the Spain side.
  • 62' - The supporters are chanting for Takuma Asano. He replaces Daizen Maeda on 62 minute.
  • 67' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 68' - Ansu Fati has so much to prove this time. 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' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ao Tanaka scoring 3 goals.
  • 79' - 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.
  • 84' - 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 Pedri suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' - Time for substitution for Japan. Ao Tanaka is replaced by Wataru Endo.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Spain.
