Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Japan is hosting Spain for another epic battle.
  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 11' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-1.
  • 12' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 17' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Pau Torres, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 22' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 22 minutes.
  • 27' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 27.
  • 32' - 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.
  • 37' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 39' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ko Itakura.
  • 44' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Shogo Taniguchi.
  • 45' - Maya Yoshida is having his name booked by the referee on 45.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 48' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 1-2.
  • 51' - What an equalizer from Ao Tanaka!
  • 53' - GOAL! Ao Tanaka scores on 53.
  • 54' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 57' - Ferran Torres has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nico Williams on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Takuma Asano has so much to prove this time. He replaces Daizen Maeda on 62 minute.
  • 67' - 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 Rodri suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' - Ansu Fati has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pablo Gavira on 68 minute.
  • 69' - It is a substitution in Spain team. Alejandro Balde is replaced by Jordi Alba on 69 minute.
  • 74' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 79' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 84' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 87' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Wataru Endo on 87 minute.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Spain.
