Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Japan gets underway.
  • 5' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' - Marco Asensio has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 40 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 11' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-1.
  • 12' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-2.
  • 17' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 22' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 27' - 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 Daichi Kamada suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 37' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Unai Simon, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 39' - The referee shows Japan player a Yellow card on 39.
  • 44' - Shogo Taniguchi was booked on 44.
  • 45' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Maya Yoshida.
  • 46' - Ritsu Doan is replacing Takefusa Kubo for the Japan side.
  • 48' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 1-2.
  • 51' - What an equalizer from Ao Tanaka!
  • 53' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 54' - Ao Tanaka makes a hat-trick on 54.
  • 57' - Another substitution for Spain to replace Nico Williams by Ferran Torres on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Japan. Daizen Maeda is replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 67' - 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.
  • 68' - Ansu Fati is replacing Pablo Gavira for the Spain side.
  • 69' - The whistle greets Alejandro Balde as he departs to be replaced by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - 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' - 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.
  • 84' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 87' - Wataru Endo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 87 minute.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Spain
