  • 4' Daichi Kamada has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 4 minutes.
  • 9' Dylan Bronn is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Tunisia tonight.
  • 14' The home supporters are growing impatient. Tunisia must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 19' Keito Nakamura has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
  • 24' Supporters expect more eagerness from Omar Rekik, as he is very good at scoring at Estadio BBVA with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 29' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 31' The deadlock is broken! Ayase Ueda gets on the scoresheet on 31 minutes.
  • 36' Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ayase Ueda scoring 2 goals.
  • 41' Junya Ito has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 46' Time for substitution for Tunisia. Dylan Bronn is replaced by Mohamed Amine Ben Hamida.
  • 51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 56' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

  • 64' Firas Chaouat is ready to make an impact after coming on for Sebastian Tounekti at the 64 minute mark.
  • 69' GOAL! Junya Ito fires home to make it 0-3!
  • 74' Junnosuke Suzuki gets the nod from Japan. He replaces Daichi Kamada and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 78' Yuito Suzuki is replacing Keito Nakamura for the Japan side.
  • 83' What composure from Ayase Ueda! The Japan international strokes it home. 0-4.
  • 84' Ayase Ueda makes way for Keisuke Goto at the 84 minute mark. A tactical switch from Japan.
  • 89' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hervé Renard might look to freshen things up shortly.
