  • 0' - The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Belgium is hosting Japan for another epic battle.
  • 5' - Axel Witsel has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 38 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - It looks surprising Japan does not make any changes. Eden Hazard has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' - 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.
  • 35' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Vincent Kompany made 357 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' - Japan receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 40.
  • 45' - 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.
  • 48' - GOAL! Genki Haraguchi scores on 48. Assisted by Gaku Shibasaki
  • 52' - GOAL! Takashi Inui scores on 52. Assisted by Shinji Kagawa
  • 57' - It looks like no one’s ball. Belgium is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 65' - The whistle greets Dries Mertens as he departs to be replaced by Marouane Fellaini.
  • 69' - Goal! Jan Vertonghen scores his 10 goal in 308 matches.
  • 74' - Goal! Marouane Fellaini scores his 3 goal in 337 matches.

  • 81' - Another substitution for Japan to replace Gaku Shibasaki by Hotaru Yamaguchi on 81 minute.
