Live comments

  • 0' - The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Japan and Croatia has kicked off!
  • 5' - 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 Takehiro Tomiyasu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Maya Yoshida, as he is very good at scoring at Al Janoub Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Croatia looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ivan Perisic scoring 2 goals.
  • 30' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Dominik Livakovic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' - 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.
  • 43' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Daizen Maeda on 43.
  • 44' - Daizen Maeda with the second goal in the match!
  • 49' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 54' - Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 54.
  • 55' - What a strike from Ivan Perisic! The score is 2-1.
  • 56' - What a strike from Ivan Perisic! The score is 2-2.
  • 61' - 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.
  • 62' - The supporters are chanting for Ante Budimir. He replaces Bruno Petkovic on 62 minute.
  • 64' - Kaoru Mitoma is replacing Yuto Nagatomo for the Japan side.
  • 68' - Another substitution for Croatia to replace Andrej Kramaric by Mario Pasalic on 68 minute.
  • 73' - Borna Barisic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 75' - The whistle greets Daichi Kamada as he departs to be replaced by Hiroki Sakai.
  • 80' - It looks like no one’s ball. Croatia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 85' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 87' - Takumi Minamino is replacing Ritsu Doan for the Japan side.
  • 90' - The referee calls foul for Mateo Kovacic. He receives a Yellow card.
  • Full Time. Croatia beats Japan
