Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at Al Janoub Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 20' - It’s high time Zlatko Dalic made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Maya Yoshida made 274 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' - Mario Pasalic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 43' - GOAL! Daizen Maeda scores on 43. Assisted by Maya Yoshida
  • 44' - What a strike from Daizen Maeda! The score is 2-0.
  • 49' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 55' - What a strike from Ivan Perisic! The score is 2-1.
  • 56' - GOAL! Ivan Perisic scores on 56. Assisted by Dejan Lovren
  • 61' - Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Bruno Petkovic is replaced by Ante Budimir.
  • 64' - Time for substitution for Japan. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 68' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Andrej Kramaric is replaced by Mario Pasalic.
  • 73' - Croatia 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.
  • 75' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Daichi Kamada departs to be replaced by Hiroki Sakai.
  • 80' - The travelling Croatia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 85' - 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.
  • 87' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ritsu Doan is replaced by Takumi Minamino on 87 minute.
