Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Japan and Spain is underway.
  • 5' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' - Jordi Alba needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 11' - GOAL! Alvaro Morata scores on 11. Assisted by Azpilicueta
  • 12' - GOAL! Alvaro Morata scores on 12. Assisted by Azpilicueta
  • 17' - The travelling Spain supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 22' - It’s high time Luis Enrique made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 27' - 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.
  • 32' - 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.
  • 37' - Ferran Torres has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 23 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 39' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ko Itakura.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Shogo Taniguchi gets a Yellow card.
  • 45' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Maya Yoshida on 45.
  • 46' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Takefusa Kubo by Ritsu Doan on 46 minute.
  • 48' - What a strike from Ritsu Doan! The score is 1-2.
  • 51' - Goal! Ao Tanaka scores his 11 goal in 326 matches.
  • 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' - It is a substitution in Spain team. Nico Williams is replaced by Ferran Torres on 57 minute.
  • 62' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takuma Asano is hanging Daizen Maeda on the field on 62 minute.
  • 67' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Spain that had 118 games and scored 36 goals.
  • 68' - Another substitution for Spain to replace Pablo Gavira by Ansu Fati on 68 minute.
  • 69' - The Spain manager makes a substitution. Alejandro Balde departs to be replaced by Jordi Alba.
  • 74' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Dani Olmo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 79' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Japan winning 100% of all matches.
  • 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 Shogo Taniguchi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Ao Tanaka by Wataru Endo on 87 minute.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
