Live comments

  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Japan is hosting Croatia for another epic battle.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Maya Yoshida has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Japan is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' - Andrej Kramaric has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 30' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 35' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' - 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 Dominik Livakovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 43' - What a strike from Daizen Maeda! The score is 1-0.
  • 44' - What a strike from Daizen Maeda! The score is 2-0.
  • 49' - 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.
  • 54' - 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.
  • 55' - GOAL! Ivan Perisic scores on 55. Assisted by Dejan Lovren
  • 56' - Goal! Ivan Perisic scores his 51 goal in 396 matches.
  • 61' - The travelling Croatia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Bruno Petkovic as he departs to be replaced by Ante Budimir.
  • 64' - Time for substitution for Japan. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
  • 68' - Another substitution for Croatia to replace Andrej Kramaric by Mario Pasalic on 68 minute.
  • 73' - 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.
  • 75' - Hiroki Sakai is replacing Daichi Kamada for the Japan side.
  • 80' - Wataru Endo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 85' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 87' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takumi Minamino is hanging Ritsu Doan on the field on 87 minute.
  • 90' - Mateo Kovacic is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Japan.
