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' - It looks like no one’s ball. Japan is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' - 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 Josip Juranovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Daichi Kamada has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 35' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcelo Brozovic, as he is very good at scoring at Al Janoub Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 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' - 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.
  • 54' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 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' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 62' - Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ante Budimir is hanging Bruno Petkovic on the field on 62 minute.
  • 64' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Yuto Nagatomo is replaced by Kaoru Mitoma on 64 minute.
  • 68' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Andrej Kramaric is replaced by Mario Pasalic.
  • 73' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 75' - The whistle greets Daichi Kamada as he departs to be replaced by Hiroki Sakai.
  • 80' - Croatia looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ivan Perisic scoring 2 goals.
  • 85' - 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.
  • 87' - The whistle greets Ritsu Doan as he departs to be replaced by Takumi Minamino.
