  • 5' - 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.

  • 12' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 331 matches.
  • 17' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 22' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 27' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 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 Hidemasa Morita suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 39' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 39.
  • 44' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Shogo Taniguchi on 44.

  • 62' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Daizen Maeda by Takuma Asano on 62 minute.
  • 67' - It looks like no one’s ball. Spain is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 68' - It is a substitution in Spain team. Pablo Gavira is replaced by Ansu Fati on 68 minute.
  • 69' - The Spain manager makes a substitution. Alejandro Balde departs to be replaced by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ao Tanaka scoring 3 goals.
  • 79' - 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.
