- 90'+8'Thanks for joining the live text commentary for this match. Until next time, goodbye.
- 90'+7'Japan face Croatia in the Round of 16 this Monday with Spain locking horns with Morocco the following day.
- 90'+7'All over and both Japan and Spain progress to the Round of 16. Spain took the lead in the first half through Morata only for Japan to mount a dramatic comeback in the second half following goals from Doan and Tanaka. That, coupled with the fact that Germany beat Costa Rica in the group's other game, means that Japan go through as group winners while Spain go through as runners-up.
