Live comments

  • 0' - The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Japan to score. At the same time, Croatia does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Mario Pasalic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - It looks like no one’s ball. Croatia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 40' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Andrej Kramaric, as he is very good at scoring at Al Janoub Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 43' - GOAL! Daizen Maeda scores on 43. Assisted by Maya Yoshida
  • 44' - GOAL! Daizen Maeda scores on 44.
  • 49' - Dejan Lovren needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 54' - Croatia looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ivan Perisic scoring 2 goals.
  • 55' - GOAL! Ivan Perisic scores on 55. Assisted by Dejan Lovren
  • 56' - Goal! Ivan Perisic scores his 51 goal in 415 matches.
  • 61' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Croatia winning 100% of all matches.
  • 62' - It is a substitution in Croatia team. Bruno Petkovic is replaced by Ante Budimir on 62 minute.
  • 64' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma on 64 minute.
  • 68' - Mario Pasalic is replacing Andrej Kramaric for the Croatia side.
  • 73' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Croatia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 75' - Hiroki Sakai has so much to prove this time. He replaces Daichi Kamada on 75 minute.
  • 80' - Japan 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.
  • 85' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 87' - Takumi Minamino has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ritsu Doan on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Mateo Kovacic was booked on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Croatia players.
