Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Japan and Croatia is underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 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 Bruno Petkovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Shogo Taniguchi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' - It’s high time Hajime Moriyasu made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Luka Modric has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 23 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 35' - 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.
  • 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' - GOAL! Daizen Maeda scores on 44.
  • 49' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Borna Barisic, as he is very good at scoring at Al Janoub Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 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' - What a strike from Ivan Perisic! The score is 2-1.
  • 56' - What an equalizer from Ivan Perisic!
  • 61' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 62' - Time for substitution for Croatia. Bruno Petkovic is replaced by Ante Budimir.
  • 64' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Yuto Nagatomo by Kaoru Mitoma on 64 minute.
  • 68' - Mario Pasalic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 68 minute.
  • 73' - Croatia looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ivan Perisic scoring 2 goals.
  • 75' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Daichi Kamada is replaced by Hiroki Sakai on 75 minute.
  • 80' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 80 minutes.
  • 85' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
  • 87' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ritsu Doan departs to be replaced by Takumi Minamino.
  • 90' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mateo Kovacic.
  • With this win, Croatia is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
