Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Tunisia kicks off things out of here…
  • 4' Goal! Daichi Kamada scores his 71 goal in 263 matches.
  • 9' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ali El Abdi made 9 appearances and scored 33 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 14' It looks like no one’s ball. Tunisia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 19' Tunisia seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 24' 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.
  • 29' Tunisia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 31' What a strike from Ayase Ueda! The score is 0-2.
  • 36' It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Keito Nakamura has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Tunisia that had 9 games and scored 8 goals.
  • 46' The whistle greets Dylan Bronn as he departs to be replaced by Mohamed Amine Ben Hamida.
  • 51' Hannibal Mejbri has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Tunisia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 64' It is a substitution in Tunisia team. Sebastian Tounekti is replaced by Firas Chaouat on 64 minute.
  • 69' GOAL! Junya Ito scores on 69. Assisted by Ayase Ueda
  • 74' Time for substitution for Japan. Daichi Kamada is replaced by Junnosuke Suzuki.
  • 78' Yuito Suzuki is replacing Keito Nakamura for the Japan side.
  • 83' What a strike from Ayase Ueda! The score is 0-4.
  • 84' The whistle greets Ayase Ueda as he departs to be replaced by Keisuke Goto.
  • 89' 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 Ellyes Skhiri suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' The whistle greets Ellyes Skhiri as he departs to be replaced by Rani Khedira.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Japan players.
