Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Japan and Spain is underway.
  • 5' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 10' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 11' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 12' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 17' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 22' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 27' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 27 minutes.
  • 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 Shuichi Gonda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' - Daichi Kamada has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 39' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 39.
  • 44' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 44.
  • 45' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Maya Yoshida gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. He replaces Takefusa Kubo on 46 minute.
  • 48' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 1-2.
  • 51' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 53' - Sensational shot from Ao Tanaka. Japan is back in the lead.
  • 54' - Ao Tanaka makes a hat-trick on 54.
  • 57' - Spain manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ferran Torres is hanging Nico Williams on the field on 57 minute.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Daizen Maeda as he departs to be replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 67' - 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.
  • 68' - Another change for Spain made on 68 minute. Pablo Gavira leaves to be changed by Ansu Fati.
  • 69' - The Spain manager makes a substitution. Alejandro Balde departs to be replaced by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ko Itakura made 275 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 79' - 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.
  • 84' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Hidemasa Morita has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 87' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Wataru Endo is hanging Ao Tanaka on the field on 87 minute.
