Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Spain kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Junya Ito has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 11' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-1.
  • 12' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-2.
  • 17' - 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.
  • 22' - Rodri needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 27' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 32' - 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.
  • 37' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 39' - Ko Itakura is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Shogo Taniguchi on 44.
  • 45' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Maya Yoshida on 45.
  • 46' - The supporters are chanting for Ritsu Doan. 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' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ao Tanaka on 53.
  • 54' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 4-2.
  • 57' - Ferran Torres has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nico Williams on 57 minute.
  • 62' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Daizen Maeda is replaced by Takuma Asano on 62 minute.
  • 67' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Hidemasa Morita, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 68' - The Spain manager makes a substitution. Pablo Gavira departs to be replaced by Ansu Fati.
  • 69' - Another change for Spain made on 69 minute. Alejandro Balde leaves to be changed by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - 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 Yuto Nagatomo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' - Spain is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 84' - 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.
  • 87' - The whistle greets Ao Tanaka as he departs to be replaced by Wataru Endo.
  • Full Time. Japan beats Spain
