Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Japan and Spain has kicked off!
  • 5' - Dani Olmo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 10' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 11' - Spain is taking the lead after the goal scored by Alvaro Morata on 11.
  • 12' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 17' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 22' - 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.
  • 27' - 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.
  • 32' - 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 Pablo Gavira suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
  • 39' - The referee calls foul for Ko Itakura. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Shogo Taniguchi.
  • 45' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 46' - Ritsu Doan is replacing Takefusa Kubo for the Japan side.
  • 48' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 48.
  • 51' - What an equalizer from Ao Tanaka!
  • 53' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ao Tanaka on 53.
  • 54' - GOAL! Ao Tanaka scores on 54.
  • 57' - The Spain manager makes a substitution. Nico Williams departs to be replaced by Ferran Torres.
  • 62' - Another change for Japan made on 62 minute. Daizen Maeda leaves to be changed by Takuma Asano.
  • 67' - It’s high time Luis Enrique made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 68' - Ansu Fati is replacing Pablo Gavira for the Spain side.
  • 69' - The supporters are chanting for Jordi Alba. He replaces Alejandro Balde on 69 minute.
  • 74' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 79' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Dani Carvajal, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 84' - 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.
  • 87' - Another change for Japan made on 87 minute. Ao Tanaka leaves to be changed by Wataru Endo.
  • With this win, Japan is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
