  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

  • 22' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 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 Hidemasa Morita suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Spain needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 37' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 69' - Spain manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jordi Alba is hanging Alejandro Balde on the field on 69 minute.
  • 74' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 79' - Pedri needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 84' - Spain is showing some good football. However, Spain are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
