Japan’s 1-1 against Spain

Contrary to expectations, he didn’t interfere too much but when it was his turn, he answered. He could do nothing before Morata’s header in the 0-1 draw in Spain.

Very intense throughout the match, he handled the defensive tasks well. He never stopped running.

The veteran player has something to do with the new Williams. And he suffered on his side every time the ball reached Athletic. In attack he hardly plays himself. Substituted at halftime.

He soon saw a yellow for a tackle on Gavi, which conditioned him, but he knew how to handle the situation perfectly.

The Schalke player led the Japanese defence, joining Morata after a foul that saw him yellow carded. He reproached the mattress maker for exaggeration.

He forgot about Morata in the Spain goal, leaving the striker alone to finish. And he came out almost opposite the place chasing Pedri, saw the yellow. Then it is intoned.

He started with some doubts, but as the minutes went by he felt better on the pitch.

He made it 1-2, something that will go down in the history of the Japanese team, victory over Spain and in the round of 16. Almost nothing.

In the first half, he was alone in the lead and did not scratch more than a Spanish ankle, desperate for his situation. He didn’t have a chance, but he let himself be on the defensive.

The Eintracht Frankfurter is one of Japan’s more quality men, but it can’t be shown. He doesn’t have much participation. He landed on the bench.

He started but only played the first part. With Japan defending throughout the first half, he didn’t make contact with the ball and didn’t show his qualities.

The winger was a substitute, but when he entered the field he removed himself to preserve the advantage for his team. His poise in the final minutes was noticeable.

He jumped in to help prevent the latter part of the clash, when Japan had become a wall for the Spanish team.

He came out on the break with Doan to revolutionize the Japanese team coming in from the left. He provided the second assist, two minutes after 1-1.

His thing is to come and kiss the saint in the form of a goal. He had been on the field for three minutes when he took advantage of a steal from his team to unleash a left-footed shot that Unai Simón could do more than. The game started 1-2.

He entered game time instead of Maeda to perform his same function. He had no chances and had to work hard defensively.
