Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Japan kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - 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 Ansu Fati suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - 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.
  • 11' - Alvaro Morata puts Spain on the lead.
  • 12' - Alvaro Morata with the second goal in the match!
  • 17' - Ko Itakura needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 22' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 27' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ao Tanaka scoring 3 goals.
  • 32' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 32 minutes.
  • 37' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Busquets made 448 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 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' - Japan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Takefusa Kubo by Ritsu Doan on 46 minute.
  • 48' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 1-2.
  • 51' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 2-2.
  • 53' - Sensational shot from Ao Tanaka. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 54' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 4-2.
  • 57' - Spain manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ferran Torres is hanging Nico Williams on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Japan. Daizen Maeda is replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 67' - Spain started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
  • 68' - Ansu Fati has so much to prove this time. He replaces Pablo Gavira on 68 minute.
  • 69' - Time for substitution for Spain. Alejandro Balde is replaced by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Spain that had 118 games and scored 36 goals.
  • 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' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 87' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ao Tanaka departs to be replaced by Wataru Endo.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
