Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Belgium and Japan has kicked off!
  • 5' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 10' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - 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 Takashi Inui suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 35' - It’s high time Akira Nishino made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' - The referee shows Japan player a Yellow card on 40.
  • 45' - Belgium is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 48' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Genki Haraguchi on 48.
  • 52' - GOAL! Takashi Inui scores on 52. Assisted by Shinji Kagawa
  • 57' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 62' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 65' - It is a substitution in Belgium team. Dries Mertens is replaced by Marouane Fellaini on 65 minute.
  • 69' - GOAL! Jan Vertonghen scores on 69.
  • 74' - Goal! Marouane Fellaini scores his 3 goal in 335 matches.
  • 79' - The travelling Japan supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 81' - The whistle greets Gaku Shibasaki as he departs to be replaced by Hotaru Yamaguchi.
  • 86' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Belgium that had 117 games and scored 36 goals.
  • 90' - Nacer Chadli puts Belgium on the lead.
  • With this win, Belgium is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
