Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Japan to score. At the same time, Spain does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Spain does not make any changes. Dani Carvajal has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 11' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-1.
  • 12' - GOAL! Alvaro Morata scores on 12. Assisted by Azpilicueta
  • 17' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Busquets, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 22' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 27' - 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.
  • 32' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 37' - 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.
  • 39' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Ko Itakura on 39.
  • 44' - The referee calls foul for Shogo Taniguchi. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 45' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 46' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Takefusa Kubo departs to be replaced by Ritsu Doan.
  • 48' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 48.
  • 51' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 53' - Ao Tanaka with the second goal in the match!
  • 54' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 57' - The Spain manager makes a substitution. Nico Williams departs to be replaced by Ferran Torres.
  • 62' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Daizen Maeda is replaced by Takuma Asano 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 Nico Williams suffering a number of foals already.
  • 68' - Spain manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ansu Fati is hanging Pablo Gavira on the field on 68 minute.
  • 69' - Time for substitution for Spain. Alejandro Balde is replaced by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - Marco Asensio needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 79' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 79.
  • 84' - Junya Ito has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 87' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Wataru Endo on 87 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Japan players.
