Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Khalifa International Stadium that hosts another battle between Japan and Spain.
  • 5' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - Junya Ito has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 11' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 12' - Alvaro Morata with the second goal in the match!
  • 17' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 17.
  • 22' - It looks surprising Spain does not make any changes. Ferran Torres has some obvious troubles when approaching to the 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 Shuichi Gonda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' - Dani Carvajal needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 37' - 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.
  • 39' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ko Itakura.
  • 44' - Japan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 45' - Maya Yoshida was booked on 45.
  • 46' - Ritsu Doan has so much to prove this time. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 48' - GOAL! Ritsu Doan scores on 48.
  • 51' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 2-2.
  • 53' - Ao Tanaka with the second goal in the match!
  • 54' - GOAL! Ao Tanaka scores on 54.
  • 57' - Time for substitution for Spain. Nico Williams is replaced by Ferran Torres.
  • 62' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Daizen Maeda is replaced by Takuma Asano on 62 minute.
  • 67' - Spain is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 68' - Another substitution for Spain to replace Pablo Gavira by Ansu Fati on 68 minute.
  • 69' - Another substitution for Spain to replace Alejandro Balde by Jordi Alba on 69 minute.
  • 74' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Jordi Alba, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 79' - 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.
  • 84' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 84 minutes.
  • 87' - The supporters are chanting for Wataru Endo. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 87 minute.
