How Japan’s Win Over Spain Knocked Germany Out of the World Cup


Spain only needs a win or a draw to secure a place in the round of 16. Even a loss, with a German win over Costa Rica, got the job done.

It opens by hypnotizing both Japan and the crowd with his ball control. Chances were open as Japan dropped deep, but the first goal of the game came in the 12th minute when Spaniard Álvaro Morata slipped between slow-moving defenders to head over goalkeeper Shuichi Gonda. .

At Al Khor, Germany also quickly scored to lead 1-0. Just like that, the football world has returned to the axis, Germany and Spain are ready to march into the knockout round. Without a comeback, both Japan and Costa Rica will be eliminated.

Japan’s coach, Hajime Moriyasu, made halftime adjustments and replaced Kaoru Mitoma and Ritsu Doan, two massive energies that changed the game with their speed and pressure. Suddenly, Spain was the team to catch up, and in the first minutes of the second half, Doan made a dangerous left-footed finish past Unai Simón to seal the score.

Moments later, in the 51st minute, when Japan was going up, a ball slid over the mouth of Spain’s goal to Simón’s right sideline. To his team’s relief, it seemed to have worn off. But anyway a gliding Mitoma saved it, sending it back to Simón in the general direction of Ao Tanaka, who sent it into goal.

Spain deemed the ball out of play and the replays initially seemed to agree. However, urged to reconsider by the assistant referee watching the action video, the on-field umpire reviewed and scored.

Japan unexpectedly took the lead, 2-1. In the north, a few minutes later, Costa Rica equalized for Germany, then scored again to take the lead.
