Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Japan and Spain is underway.
  • 5' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 11' - What a strike from Alvaro Morata! The score is 0-1.
  • 12' - Goal! Alvaro Morata scores his 116 goal in 322 matches.
  • 17' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 22' - 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.
  • 27' - 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.
  • 32' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 32 minutes.
  • 37' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 39' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Ko Itakura on 39.
  • 44' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Shogo Taniguchi.
  • 45' - The referee calls foul for Maya Yoshida. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' - Another change for Japan made on 46 minute. Takefusa Kubo leaves to be changed by Ritsu Doan.

  • 51' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 2-2.
  • 53' - Japan is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ao Tanaka on 53.
  • 54' - What a strike from Ao Tanaka! The score is 4-2.
  • 57' - Another substitution for Spain to replace Nico Williams by Ferran Torres on 57 minute.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Daizen Maeda as he departs to be replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 67' - 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.
  • 68' - The supporters are chanting for Ansu Fati. He replaces Pablo Gavira on 68 minute.
  • 69' - Jordi Alba is replacing Alejandro Balde for the Spain side.
  • 74' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 79' - Japan looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ao Tanaka scoring 3 goals.
  • 84' - 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 Unai Simon suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' - Wataru Endo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ao Tanaka on 87 minute.
  • The final score is 2-1.
