At the Al Khalifa International Stadium on Thursday, Spain's Alvaro Morata scored the game's opening goal in the eleventh minute. Still, Japan fought back after the break. The Spanish striker headed in a cross from the loftiest point on the field for his third goal of the competition.
Many twinkles after coming on as a halftime cover, Ritsu Doan evened with a left-footed shot from outside the box in the 48th minute. Shortly after that, Ao Tanaka added the alternate goal from close range.
Tanaka's goal was first disallowed because Kaoru Mitoma's cut-reverse was supposed to have passed before the ball had officially left the field of play, but VAR reversed the ruling and gave Japan the three points they needed to guarantee their place in the knockout stages.
As time ran down, Japan appeared secure until Germany defeated Costa Rica 4-2. The Japanese could have dropped from first to third in the group if a late Spanish thing had been scored. still, the Blue Samurai was suitable to hold out against swells of Spanish assaults. Germany was excluded despite a 4- 2 palm over Costa Rica on Thursday. Japan finished first in Group E, followed by Spain on thing differential. In both games' last twinkles, all four brigades had a chance to qualify, making it a dramatic conclusion for the group.
Japan, who has never advanced past the first knockout round, will play Croatia in the round of 16 coming weeks.
